Diving for Pearls
I’ve been diving for some years now,
Spending longer and longer
Submerged.
There is,
The strangest disconnection as I resurface
Watching the world above me approach
Distorted by the rippling weight of moon and gravity
A disagreement of perspectives,
Not healed by time.
The pearls become rarer, I go deeper
The water feels colder, the under world darker
The above and below less seperate.
I dive
for pearls.
