Sequences by Rachel Nolan

His name is in the water turning

over and over. If you heard it today 

it would be unrecognizable. Smoothed 

round and round. His voice drowns. 

At first you will feel like a disciple 

and then the water’s surface will break. 

You will plummet into the dark depths

and hear it again. You will.
