Love and Survival

by

Alan C. Keimig

The steel gray water slammed
Against the granite climb
Shutting out the screams
I couldn't tell them there
Closed doors to tomorrow your
Last words hugging me with
Odd excitement still your
Voice yet clear ringing itself
To far out of you to pull
Back in the escaping words
Longing themselves to never
Let them go tormenting me
These many years with mute
Indifference reduced to little more
Than begging until my hopes
Had settled in the years to
Thievery, to animal instinct
Telling me to float ahead, be
Calm be still, float until you
Disappear or are found far
At sea yet alive concentrated
Only in your mind clinging only
To your dream life preservers
As a sign I will survive.
