the doorway to elsewhere
stays ajar and Caren appears
having crossed my mind
two years earlier

eventually it links to water
embryonic, the 80%
we ignore so easily as if
this mass of flesh is not illusion

we deny oceanic ripple
aqueous cell structure
salted or clear
our buoyancy

keeping us supple the river
we think won’t dry
