Song for the Submerged

Lamb of God
who takes away the sins of the world
have mercy on us

chest crushed

breathing slightly

breath and sigh
breath and sigh

and feeling no other sensation
than his weight on her
she began to fall

falling with no legs or arms
no heads or bodies

only their voices in perfect union

she would never

know

she would always

know

that in the falling
with no
legs or arms

no

heads or bodies

that the only sounds heard were her own
