Submerged City
You lie, a city now, beneath the clear
Depths. You are still but we can see you move
Because we knew you when you filled the sphere
We call the past now. Memory can prove
An old existence: archeology
Can bring perfection up from underneath
That deep transparent wave-distorted sea.
Sea archeology could search beneath
The present time, but we do not require
That. You are ever present in our lives
So we do not need searching. No desire
Will bring you closer than our dreams. Your wives
Are all omitted from this deepened view.
We see through magnifying depths just you.
