Analysis of Swim underwater
swim under water
I swim under water
as long as I can
before sea closed
all windows and doors
and the last steps
lie on the sand
like the stony water
of a dried-up waterfall
and the thirsty meadow
awaits happiness again
but the wind
with wet clouds
is late
-
you go out
into the world with lies
and the pain accumulates
there are always
more of them
like winter clothes
