Darkening Passage MAG
I look up
at the soft grace of a white bird
yet trapped.
Hundreds of feet of blue and white flashes of light
ascend me
and my head crushes at the pressure.
My eyes begin to cloud,
much like water, polluted by the
mud I kicked up.
The salt water tickles my tongue like candy
or at least my distorted mind
makes me think it tastes so.
Ears are ringing
life begins to collapse.
The bird blurs
into a bright, white light.
With the taut line from a
striped white and red buoy grasping my ankle,
I surface
floating face down.
