..... as long as the water .....

I am a well

saddened camel
as tired as a giraffe
in the dust at dusk
as bright as a fish in the sun
as long as the water
and my head is bobbing
like candy over the water
I leave you
splashing and
pouring out the heart of all you
love, the heart of all you've done
like a dancing camel with wheels

we laid face up and stared
into so many fluid dreams
through which we would
swiftly flee for fifty sweet
and sappy minutes; for fifty
minus twenty two times thirteen

whatever, days or minutes;
I seem to have lost count

I sit in your pool
as long as the water
my bottom
all sopping
and sob
