The Deep


When I dove into the deep,

the screaming reeds swalled me.

I was enclosed as if a dome was

placed on top of me, left to brew for weeks

A protective layer can only protect one side

I was on the other

A gushing tide slammed and bruised me

when I wanted to curl, I was unravelled and exposed.

I blacked out.


I resurfaced.


I did not drown.

I breathed.

I escaped the deep.
