As time goes on your love grows from a river or stream into an ocean
Tidal waves wash over me in a steady motion as day by day I attempt to explore your depths
Searching for pearls and secrets whilst constantly holding my breath
Treading water
I find myself sometimes struggling to hold my head above the surface
Questioning whether it is all really worth it
But the answer as ever is yes

And into your love I dive
Seeking what makes you live and what makes you thrive
Wishing to fathom the limits of your heart
Oblivious to the storm on the horizon
As waves boil and rage you crash over me Storm clouds break over a turbulent sea
I slip underneath to the void beneath and my world fills with hues of blues and aquamarines
Till you are all I know and all I see and as I fight and kick and and try not to scream pulled by the current unable to breath until in a moment of clarity finally I see that the heart on my sleeve is made of lead

In Ari Aster’s 2016 short film C’est La Vie, Chester Crummings, a homeless man, speaks directly and combatively to camera about his life and society at large as he wanders the streets of LA, surviving, begging for change and casually murdering people. At one point, he says: “You know what Freud says about the nature of horror? He says it’s when the home becomes unhomelike. Unheimlich.”
