'Fluid Dynamics' - Poem by Quinara (G)

[quinara]

Sometimes the prompts are just inspirational, aren't they? Here is a Buffy POV poem. An experiment in concrete stuff (but only mildly)! Super G, but maybe a bit gloomy; pretty much free of stuff that the AO3 has warnings for, though it does mention that Buffy was dead. Set probably S6.

I looked into the water. My destiny was drifting past.



Fluid Dynamics.

I used to stare at falling water – stare and watch it fall
I used to hope I wasn’t anywhere
                                                at least not here
                                                                  not now
I didn’t have a destiny
I couldn’t have
not dead                 and still
              two times
                                          brought back.

So little did I know.




You used to stare at me when I was falling
                                                              here
                                                              still here
                                                                      and now
Each night I fought you fought with me
                            the falling, rushing parts.
We were awash and bright with steel.


                                                    Now
I feel your eyes on me – blue water
                                                    now
                                a dark, wide blue
the gravity
is rushing me
                to this

Was this my destiny?
To fall
                and find you here?
