Jun 2020
Starring through the glass
waist deep in quick sand
and turned topsy turby

Forced to swim through the chaos
as my sanity sifts out under me
with one last breath I dive

Sounds and Sights
that once assaulted my senses
Shift to terrifying silence

And thousands of tiny cuts
in this sea of shrapnel
leave me in a new agony

Down I go Deeper still
Burning lungs Begin to plea
That I Simply Swallow

Teary eyed
Goodbye
I start to say

When...

Suddenly I fall through
the floor
and plummet down

Sand now ankle high
the air crystal clear
with a brand new view once more

Here I will live
in momentary relief
waiting to turn upside down...
