the helicopter went down
in darkness
eelelectricblueblack
I saw the rotorblades
swimming in the spotlights
distorted by lightwaves
wet sinking fast
through butterflywing fishshoals
I saw the surface
slip from our grasp
I saw dayglo
fish bellies as pale as
lonely faces
tell me:where were you:to tell me
I’m dreaming again
