Nearing The Far Bank

Seeing you slip
toward fiction

your firm arms
becoming a memory
nestled in your softening brain

fearfully opening
the book of myths
to see yourself there

I keep reminding myself
that myth is strong
and fiction rules the hours

between dark and light
I want to remind you too

but there’s already so much water
between my side of the River
and the one you are approaching

all I can do
is wave after you
hoping you’ll turn back to see

how deep
into the myths
I am already planted
how strong the story
you’ve left me to live by
