i am not meant for this

Mother, I am not meant for this
I stand in the rain
Dumbfounded and searching, wiping my self from my eyes
No matter how still I become
I am still spinning
I see my self in every thing
Crawling, yawning, swimming, digging
Knowing I have a before
Only after I have learned this much
The lake is a mother
I am feathered, buoyant in its swell
If you long for time enough, absence becomes a kind of presence
Distance can be made taut as a line between us
No cord is broken
My ears carry this still beating heart like a breath
I listen for you
The sound that silence makes
