Fish Swim Faster
A Poem by Erundur Anwamehtar
6/21/2007

Anchors carry more weight than
cement shoes attached to our love.
The way you cry, I know
you’ve given up.
When we hit the bottom, tell me so
then tell me nothing.

I hear your words as we descend,
the fish swim faster and move me more –
no longer can we pretend

everything is going to be okay,
everything will be alright,
our love will make it through the night
our love will help us fight
the fears and keep us near

until we say nothing
forevermore.
