Return to Sender
He tells me he is moving like an ocean,
which I cannot see
a song I cannot hear
a moment I cannot feel
like a cliff, falling and laughing
paint will dry, but Red Grooms is forever
forever, in a dream you have dreamt before
only this time, you must move
no time to calculate
no time at all
to expel or be expelled
it was never a question
He tells me he is moving like an ocean
one, I have not touched
one that cannot reach shore
like he is swaying, not rocking
like he is affixed, not broken
He tells me, he will now move like her ocean
one, he never asked to see
one, she has crafted
He shows me he is moving with him limbs
not saying, just present
not gazing, just buried
show me you are moving and I will show you peace
show me it moves through you,
and we shall grant you this one wish
I beg him
show me you are moving,
for I cannot see
tell me you are aching,
for I could not hear
if there is water in this form,
please make yourself known
if there is doubt in your heart,
please, stand still
2021
