becoming the bottom of the water

rising waters 

coming over the high hills

how can these rains add up so fast?

flash flood like a slingshot

the water surface raises to the skies.

weighed down at the ankles

and i can't swim

someone turn off the hose

someone turn down the fans

the skies are black and the sound is deafening.

waters are rough and rushing
and i am sinking

i can only panic for so long

before the water enters my lungs

my throat is so hoarse from screaming so hard

my head is so cold from the water in my ears.

left all alone to sink to the bottom of the water

left all alone to sit at the bottom of the water

left all alone to breakdown at the bottom of the water

left all alone to become the bottom of the water.
