it’s like you’re underwater 
and you can’t breathe you’re holding your breath
 wait a moment wait another the calmness is all over the lucidity is ethereal there’s nothing around
 you don’t want to 
leave ever but then you try to fill your lungs 
you can’t 
 you can’t find the air there is no air where is the air? WHERE IS THE AIR? I need to breathe I’m tired 
 I want to give in
 I want to sink to the bottom
 I try to let the water fill my lungs 
I can’t 
 I paint in the sand 
I find sand it’s soft 
I use the twig it’s a tiny twig a tiny silver twig the twig paints red
 what’s this?
 air? I can breathe! paint more! each stroke is a gasp of air I bet you thought 
we weren’t going to find air here is the air here it is

 I try to let the water fill my lungs 
I can’t
