Descending



Descending
By
Lisa A.Williams


Didn’t we breathe each other in,
rising from the wreck at the bottom
of a timeless sea?

Drowning- 
with that sinking feeling
that we weren’t as deep

as those fathoms of promises
we never kept?

    Oh, this is lovely! You handle the extended metaphor very gracefully.
