I can see you

She belonged to a different people,
the almost people.
Those more akin to the brook,
then I.
but I,
like the trout within her,
wished to move her,
but only moved through her;
and dropped quickly to the bottom-
and there, in the warm mud,
I felt a pulse…
Embraced from the frigid waters.
Embraced from the loud world.
And reaching to touch her,
she touched me, and the current
changed; and I was torn away,
and surfaced,
finding myself alone once more;
her peering from the deep.
