Swims - Mount Eerie[00:00:00]
I can't get the image out of my head[00:00:14]
Of when I held you right there[00:00:27]
And watched you die[00:00:34]
Upstairs in the back bedroom of our house[00:00:42]
Where we have lived for many years[00:00:48]
Your last gasping breaths[00:00:56]
I see it again and again[00:01:03]
As the breeze blew in[00:01:09]
The room I still don't go in at night[00:01:24]
Because I see you[00:01:31]
Your transformed dying face will recede with time[00:01:39]
Is what our counselor said[00:01:45]
Who we walked to every Monday holding hands[00:01:52]
Slower every week with your breathing[00:01:59]
Until we had to drive[00:02:06]
But then only two months after you died[00:02:14]
Our counselor died[00:02:21]
All at once her empty office with no light on[00:02:28]
As if her work was done[00:02:34]
We are all always so close to not existing at all[00:02:49]
Except in the confusion of our survived bys grasping at the echoes[00:03:03]
Today our daughter asked me if mama swims[00:03:18]
I told her yes she does[00:03:31]
And that's probably all she does[00:03:38]
Now[00:03:42]
What was you is now born across waves[00:03:45]
Evaporating[00:03:56]
