Translation
Bilingual
We lay back on steel bolts
And curled in a cold bed
The vessel, a hollow pea
The cable, a cobweb
Then we struck the surface and fell through to the sea
ย
We sunk past the jet black blobs
Of ascidians and pearl shells
Through the forever blue
The searchlight fell
Like long vanished sunlight remembered through the house
ย
I pressed up to the clear quartz
And looked down to
The black pit mouth of death itself
Yet still washed in blue
And I looked up and remembered the anemones' purple hue
ย
Down here in outer space
A fall from a cliff
Is a gentle drifting downward
To some memory of if
You were a tadpole, and I was a fish
