I remember
The water like rivers down my back
Still warm, so that I could not tell where I bled
I kept waiting for it to turn to ice
I remember
That everything seemed to go in circles
The pain had a low point and a peak
I could ride it like a wave to the shore
I remember
That I saw blue before I went cold
A hue of turquoise in the haze
And when I woke there were no colors

And one day we will die
And our ashes will fly
From the aeroplane over the sea
But for now we are young
Let us lay in the sun
And count every beautiful thing we can see
