this one just came outta nowhere

Depths Alike 

there is a fear stringing us along
alone in the world we give trust to
invisible bottoms.

we claim comfort in translucency
mostly.

bodies relaxing in sight of themselves
keeping track
heaven forbid the atoms get lost 
in opaque ponds, open oceans
the dusky throw of day's other half.

is it insult to the design
to push away shadow's invitation?

the kiss and hand offered 
of freedom
eyes relieved of their work
and rest descending.
