The Artful Loss of Claudia Snow

Let me sink
Under the waves
I want to fall
Safely in silence
No words
No meaning
Just the water around me,
Hair billowing past my face
Becoming alive,
More alive than I have ever been

I want to vanish
Let me disappear
Into solitude
Let me be Nothing

I don’t want to be pulled
Feel the water part
Above me
Over me
Spilling me back to the shore
Let me go

The Dark is waiting
Waiting where I left it
Where I banished it
When I sink, and fall, and vanish
I let it take me back
I let it pull me,
Apart from the past
Away from the future

The waves
I need the waves

I need to fall

Let me sink
