alas, i cannot swim - a work in progress for issue#2

I waited all my life for you.


You would have never gotten away with it anyway, lover.
Because down there, in that well, where there is no light but only thousand year old water, a man has no reason to make mistakes.
Aw lover! You should have seen it!
When you fell,
They trekked from all over the world
Just trying to say something
But then,
Those clippers came
And those people,
They drowned
And the scaffolding,
It came falling down.

I imagine it was almost the end of a dimension,
Like stepping off the edge of a cliff but walking on water,
There is air,
But – your heart it doesn’t beat and you are not there

Then the conquests came
And the noise, it died down
The bodies floated away, oh how the hope bled out



And I never heard a single thing about it.
