Great flood, mudslide
Love like a natural disaster
Great trees uprooted,
the violence of separation
I was found upstream, tongue severed
bitter food for the fishes
I feel a nibbling at my fingertips
as I sink with my thoughts of you
Your face like sunshine cutting through storm clouds
I miss the warmth that it brings
So, if you find yourself taking on water
If the lightning cracks thrice
Send our mementos up the river
and I'll be at the bend to collect
