Would you know
what drowning
looks like
in the vast tidal
wave
world
there is no splashing
no screaming
or white flag
arm
raised
signaling
surrender
Drowning
is
whip
quick
and
silent
as
darkness
No time to
exhale
inhale
cry out
So I keep
watch
of
the waters
Relish
the laughter
of playing
children
children
Silence
signals
succumbing
slipping
under
the
final
deep
