• Drowning: An Allegory

I stand on the shore
the forlorn border of an arid landscape
haunted by groaning winds
a desert where the wounded dwell

My eyes stretch
across an azure horizon
where sky and sea blend
into a single serene eternity

My heart is gripped
I am enthralled by a longing inescapable
and within the lapping waves
sirens are singing:

come, come, come

I enter
drawn deeper by an oceanic aria
luxuriating in soothing liquidity
that numbs my wounds and stills my desperate mind
peace at long last, peace in the heart’s deep core

and I am drifting

Fierce and sudden, the currents come, turning the water piercing cold
a horrid gale brings clouds, nightmare-black, to fill the sky
the locks of the approaching storm
a terror begins gnawing at my gut

and I am sinking

Pulled, every inch of me, downward
further into an abysmal depth
the dim, surface-breaching light fades
like the sun’s warmth blown out by night’s breath
and I can see no way out
there is only deeper and darker.
