Underwater: A Poem

I wish I could write to you from underwater,

As I feel each ocean current push me back,

Then forward again,

With an over-easy sun looking back at me from

The other side of the surface.

I wish I could write to you

From a place that feels so timeless,

Where I cannot witness the aging of every

One and thing that surrounds me.

I wish I could write and explain to you

The rusting of my dripping kitchen facet,

The creaking of bones that are growing wiser,

The extra point-five seconds it takes for me

To realize no music is playing on the radio.

I wish I could write to you,

And maybe then I would be able to explain more properly

How I truly feel when you ask me,

"Where do you feel most at home?"
