Night Diving

You'll push me, and I'll fall A million glass carnations shattered under the weight of my collapse You'll push me, as the moon stands by a lemon witness, a sour soul and I'll fall and fall and fall, perhaps... The rim of the earth will clear itself of all the thoughts I almost thought while the water below will splinter me in a million splashes, all for naught. You'll push me, and I'll fall A million platitudes all engulfed into the swell of sightless sound You'll push me, as the ocean cries a silver sentinel, in silver skies and I'll dive and dive to touch the ground...
