Frozen.
Drowning.
Sinking.
I couldn’t move from this place
Below the sky.
Before consciousness.
The space between stars.
Water falling endlessly
Against my skin.
I slowly lived.
An ember.
Barely burning.
And in the cascading heavens.
It came.
A cadence of god.
A boisterous laugh from above.
It struck.
True and beautiful.
Thawing.
Swimming.
Rising.
I didn’t scream when it took my body.
