Poem in Progress B (explicit)
I see the star I do not run
I fall apart I come undone
I live for it
the rain the burn
the everlasting storm
a rush a drug
a hurricane of pure
fucking love.
I never met a siren
didn't drag me out to the deep
I drowned a few times
came back whole complete
from under the sea
now I tie a rope to the lighthouse
and swim when I please
when I get the need
I dig my grave
and I dig it deep
so deep
I'll come back three...

Really good. Powerful and engulfing.
May I ask what 'I'll come back three' means? Likely a literary reference I don't know; and, yes, my loss. But I would like to know. I don't think you use any 'expression' lightly.
