"Submerging me, emerging you" is a lovely and unexpected play on words, one that I've never seen or thought of before reading this. "hinterland" is just such a cool word, no?

This has a touch of an epilogue about it- the calm, passive restating of what has happened in the past. That's your style, I suppose... Not too many people can successfully capture that 'Echoes Down The Corridor' feeling. bella

I like "Submerging me, emerging you" because it is so startling. When would I think to see such a phrase? The sound of it almost grates the senses until something just makes it click into place.

"submerging me, emerging you" Awesome. I really like the part "all turns swiftly to water underneath me" since it's so ... watery. The poem flows like water, as well, ebbing and swirling around the form. Nicely done, my friend.
