Driftwood 
 
Noiselessly,
you float upon the surface
of the water.
You rise and fall,
as each wave lifts your smooth,
light carcass—
carrying you along.
Black water touches black sky
and you are caught in the abyss,
knowing the tide is sure to pull you out a little farther—
before it brings you home.
