Emergency Valentine

Now we come back to that scene
In the river losing consciousness
Surrendering to the flow
 
And then the abrupt return
Like someone bursting into a room
Having run a long way
 
Having seen through the water
The other side glimmering in the depths
Past the shadows of life and death
 
So you start to think of the earth
As your own body and blood
Your own son or daughter
 
You start to think of you as you
Your argument for being
Obviously an urgent matter
