I didn't feel the hit but
I can feel the bruises
Numb and noxious and nothing
touched me while I looked sideways
laying down breathing heavily trying to
Creep back to the corner to crouch down amid
the thunder of the blackblueberry and the asundered boat
floating on my horizon and anchoring itself to an eyelash
Before it fell to planks and sheets
Before it sunk beneath the black and the blue
