The Ruby Sea - Thin White Rope

I’ve been trying to travel down

Through the false surface of the ground

Down to where I maybe sleep

And then she sees me floating past

My face is flat against the glass

One time when she was looking down

I floated by under the ground

Down where I try to sleep

And she had reason to step back

A floater’s hands can’t help attack

Even if he thinks he knows

He was meant to travel so

She was naked squatting down

On the shore of the ground

Current sweeps me out of sleep

But I’m not thinking of that loss

But only of the fact of loss

And the distance between me

And the bed of the ruby sea
