cold, wet, and in complete darkness
splashing water and the droaning vibration are the sounds outside
that smear time into days and weeks.
solitude.
you are released from your prison,
only to be thrown over-board!
like a rock, you rush down,
water flowing by as gravity pulls
and pulls and pulls...
the bottom hits you,
and you stick -
you hold, you hold fast,
and the ship waits out the storm
