Aquarius, letting go
on the surface, sea melts the horizon.
light blinding as grief –
the mind blanks at the glare.
this is the inbetween place.
the space between sky and base.
a bottle afloat, bereft of miniature vessel.
the ship long adrift, sunken and free.
this is the time of release.
in true order, content fills form.
years hollow. in breach, the body
becomes buoyant, fast as an anchor.
sea bright glimmers. sky empty as a page.
goodbyes flow in choked whispers
tears flicker in the waves
they weight, fill with our love
and into the deep
you fade
