wholly and totally brave I swam

under dying filipino light

fighting and furious against the tide

‘cause I lost our keys in the sea

diving deep under coral reef



following treeline on the shore

I stumbled back to the road

left you on the hood of a rented ford

I looked back, it was the last time

I saw you alive



still light follows

the same rules that I do

reflecting off the water

never making it down to the bottom
