hold fast the night
the blackness attacks us
and pulls us under the waves
even the water is cold and black as i fail to swim
s

n
k
ing to the sandy bottom
the submerged trees
the sunken boats that sail too slowly
the wildlife that doesn't notice
the seaweed that pulls up
metal from hooks and pressure from water
the pull of gravity offers no quarter
none is asked
remember laying in the bed with me?
remember running in circles with me?
remember me? please?
when i am gone no one will notice the difference.
another lover, another worker, another consumer.
the money will still be missing the angles will still be drawn wrong.
pushing pulling taking taking taking taking
covered with a thousand hooks i cannot move save for down
weighted with lead sinkers my head only drops
fears are waiting for me and once again i'm late to an appointment.
