I slept like a rock on
The floor of the ocean,
Drowned in darkness--
Not needing to breathe,
Not needing to see,
Or hear, or smell or taste
Or feel anything.

I slept lie a rock on the
Floor of the ocean,
No flavor of mint,
No arms around me,
No sight of mountains,
No sound of bird songs,
No aroma of freshly baked bread--
It felt like being dead.
