Underwater Creature

entry picture

I am an underwater creature

much faster than yourself

 

I am smoothed out

by the waves

your words a thousand dull lead sinkers around my neck

 

 I can not hear you here

 

Here, I belong to no one, 

not even myself

 

In fact, I do not exist

 

There is tranquility in nothingness,

no need for oxygen

or cigarettes

 

Clear

 

I disappear

amogst the school of fish

and soft rock

 

I make my way to the bottom and touch sand

 

It is here that I do not see you

and you

are as far away as pain
