~ SUBMERGED ~

~ SUBMERGED ~

Like sad songs, like tidal waves
In the sacrosanct,
As though from sub-surround
The dead water ping
From submarines,
Declaring a proof through the night
That being submerged
Isn't so frightening,
And that ultimately
It will forever be,
Me,
Alone,
Peering through
The periscope....

For that reason,
Alone, immobile,
My consciousness floats
With indeterminable
Bubbles of oxygen,
Clueing me in
To what has been,
Upside down
And forever preserved,
In my thoughts of love
And songs,
Submerged....
