The End Of Water: Ex-diving Sticks.

Sticks, in conversation.
What are they talking about?
They are reaching out to each other.
but they are sticks, after all, so not very
affectionate by nature,
They can’t help it.

the whole span of love, which has been languishing,
will be swept up and take residence in the world.
The birds already know of it and find it inside soften boulders.
Rescue teams will be sent to retrieve it and encounter
intoxicated animals. Sometimes they never return.
We will path together our clothes and call out to
one another across ravines and streets. These activities
mark the distance of our disappearance, which is
that of a glorious exit of the emergency kind.
