The Beginning and the End

Long you both laid in the sun's yellow stare...

On the edge with eyes rolled back, the waves were calling him.
As he teetered on the edge, the waves were calling him.

He had seen it, felt its might, bent under...

(Washing away, he thinks of you. Everything slows, light's flashing through.
The water flies over his head. You are me now as you lay on my bed.)

This is what he'd always known:
The promise of something greater beyond the water's final horizon.
