somehow
i know what it means to be
happy but have
forgotten.
that smiling child in the
picture frame, bobby
gigglewater, was
drown
long ago in the
river of
sorrow. the dissolution of
his body is about to
reach the
sea.
he is remembering
how the light laughs
on the crests of the
waves
how the shadows
giggle in the
foam.
before he
enters the life
of the clouds
he is inviting you
to drown be
side him
& rejoice in
every atom of
your
being.
