Still Alive

On an old

and violent world

I feel

a riddle unfurl

for my lungs

have married water

and I am still alive

 

From a dark

and hungry sea

I surface

tentatively

for my breath

has ceased to be

and I am still alive

 

My heart

once so near

sinking still

leaving me here

in air

but oh so clear

I am still alive

 

Viewed from here

it does make sense

and so I wonder at

my physical pretence

as my thoughts

embrace silence

and I am still alive

 

Have no wing

and yet I fly

Have no face

no ear and no eye

Now that I have

married sky

I am all alive
