Did his voice float?

Travel the short distance to shore
crest the waves, press
against the night sky

Carry us from this sorrow, measure
the weight of kindness
comfort offered, moments shared.
Don't leave us to these depths.

Words disappear into water. Words
disappear into water. Words disappear
into water. Words.
Into water, he slips.
