and drowned in his bathtub as
the rain lullaby drummed against
the window because shallowness is
always seen as a lack of depth when it
sleeps in what calls dreams in sudden wake.

It seemed metaphoric in a way and the word play at the end with the word wake (traveling on water) and wake (to awaken from sleep) was marvelous a fave my friend.
Thank you so much - very kind.
