darkness was not the absence of light,
but the absence of him.
i see
the colours of a rainbow,
and my heart floats
but my stomach sinks.
cold was not the absence of heat,
but the absence of him.
i feel
the ocean tides
and my boat floats
but my anchor sinks.
if my heart is a boat
and my stomach is an anchor
. . .
then he was the sailor.
