i'm sleek & shiny. calm & soft around me. looking up i can see the sparkles hitting the ripples. all the narcissi are sirens. singing silently in black water full of shadows. calling & calling, always waiting. lost & losing, ears always straining. waiting for nothing.
i dream the dreams of people in sorrow. wanting to be down here, drifting gently with me. wavering with the currents. our songs in bubbles. light & floating. skin smothered by soft green, glowing algae turning us into underwater angels.
they don't know my black water full of shadows. swirling violently dizzying. blind drowning, always drowning. hissing & gasping. tangled in seaweed ripping me this way & that. fragile skull, full of water & pain. secret pain. craned neck, gaping plankton mouth. always starving.
remembering nothing. i choke on every breath. have never spoken a word. this black water full of shadows is very lonely. very unforgiving. and very silent.
