Return
Home only four nights, from Lake Nebagamon,
And already, I find I'm at odds with my life's eventide.
Prospects of surviving my emptiness
Are as impossible as rising to the surface of a nightmare
And not being frightened for the rest of its death's life.
My relationship with the lake has been a covenant of faith,
Which I've never taken as a passing fancy with nature,
Calculated to lure me away from my identity,
Rather seen as a preview of my immortality,
From water's edge, dock's end, shore's border.
Tonight, my return marks the start of my demise.
