water
undulating light
wash away my sorrow
wash away my weight

i swim my lengths
lose count and dream
the young and the old
sweep past me yet
steady stroke
steady stroke
i don't want a cerebrovascular accident like my dad
steady stroke
steady stroke
water between my fingers
slides and sweeps
sweeps and slides
into all my yesterdays
nostalgia and suicidies
wash away my sorrow
stroke away my sturm und drang
sweep weep scintillate my eyes and muscles
