Antonyms for Salvation

Ocean waves inhaling
exhaling 
                a field of roiling darkness
Sitting in warmth of our company
Relief and joy
Mutual salvation
Taste of flowers 
on our tongues
In the mirrors
lights approach
and halt

Clarification

The page is laughing and so am I
Raise a glass and give a toast
Are we not amused
Are we not paying attention
Open your words
Says your lips
Utter utterance
Leave no doubt

Rivers

You can't go back
It isn't the same
The river changed
The waters are new
Moment to moment
are you not the water

Meaning?
What's the point 
of the question?
There's no answer
Make up and decide
what makes sense

No one is watching 
No one is home
Please leave a message
at the tone

Molting

This is fine
This is normal
This is how everyone feels
How long can this go on
Has it always been so
Are we such anxious creatures
    we can't handle the world remade
        in our own image
Now you sit in the screen glow
as I do
            unsure of anything
sure that everything
is aching and growing
into something
                         we cannot
yet define
