The water envelops my body like liquid darkness Each tendril of fluid wrapping around my wrists like sticky cellophane And zip-ties tighten And I claw And I gnash my teeth And I scrape each current with my toenails as I kick and kick and kick and kick And the water flows through my fingers like whispering sand And I am slowly being pulled under

Drowning
The water envelops my body like liquid darkness Each tendril of fluid wrapping around my wrists like sticky cellophane And zip-ties tighten And I claw And I gnash my teeth And I scrape each current with my toenails as I kick and kick and kick and kick And the water flows through my fingers like whispering sand And I am slowly being pulled under
