Downstream



You’re in there somewhere
unexpectedly surfacing
every now and again,

an ever so brief respite
now an awkward dance
in ill-fitting shoes.

Floundering unmercifully
downstream, the chasm widens.

Your voice lingers, a vapid chilled hand
outstretched yet too far to reach -

a haunting glimpse of what used to be
and what never was, or will be.
