​
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
