The Horizon

Share
Some days you’re heavy, and the water feels like a welcome, and you forget which way is up. The thing that sounds best is to quit swimming and let yourself sink.

But you keep surfacing, even though you’re tired, so tired.

You remember land. You think about putting your feet on something solid, what that felt like. You think about laying on your back in the grass.

The horizon is closer.

The horizon. I thought I caught a glimpse of it there, briefly.
