I am the shipwreck with its scattered
and soaked wood littering the ocean
like a nest of roaches
the water smothers me patiently
and it waits to feel my body
on the ocean floor
the tears and rain both hit my face
as i lay on the deck and wait
to drown.

i am washing the splinters from within
my heart and i scream as it pumps
i let my lungs fill with water
as the broken bath tub leaks.
