But Then Angler Fish Make Their Own Light at the Bottom of the Sea

If you dream
of camels flying through needles,
you may not be dreaming.
If you see your family around you,
they may not really be there.

I went for one last walk
to say goodbye to the cat,
and there she was,
whole, a hundred percent,
nothing left out or taken away.

I found you three and a half years ago,
when I was standing
with my salty face in the sun,
starving my wishes.

The world is nothing of ours to make,
the forecast is never quite right,
and so I fall to your feet,
my author, sweet fate, sweet night.
