Currents
Went down to the river.
Right where it turns to flow
out of sight.

There I laid my demons down.
Let them glimmer in the light.

Went down to the waters edge.
Like I was dancing madly on
a ledge.

Left my troubles on the bank.
Let myself fall.

The water, it rushes over me.
Yet it won't wash away my sins.

Let myself sink to the bottom.
Maybe It is I who should
drown.
Maybe finally get that
peaceful sleep.
