Waves

Waving over the shore
towards the last place
I saw you wave
as slowly your open boat sank

that's all I could do
to feel some sort of connection
through the truth
of helplessness,

Years on
I feel still, helpless
numbed
by that nerve-wracking moment

in ways
I know
that day, that I
drowned too
