he went down
like he was going home
he was so in and just
what he was

going down like a god
i mean
he went tumbling
completely magnified
he went all upside down
then down and around and around
with this

underneath
what held all over me dropped
going down in the thought that he was

wound so complete
sinking motion held through me
beneath the sound so near me breathed
as i cried out

he was all there my wonder called
like he was going home
so consoled
with such beauty
of this said

how he was going
