Drowning in Memories


Undulating, think of an ocean—still, 
No time this time even 

To wave.

  1. Not even time to wave. Sounds grim, Vassilis, sounds grim indeed.

  2. Made me think of Stevie Smith, "Not Waving but Drowning" -- but revised to "Not Waving but Undulating in the Memoria..."

    Not forgetting the perpetual struggle to keep one's nose for the present above the ever rising waterline of all (always more, and more, and more) that's come -- and gone -- before.
