I Swallow

The Ocean

I am drowning.

The waves collapse over me,

it curves like a claw

it sucks me in viciously.

The speed of it throws me

Till I 'm blind

Can't seem to find a pocket of air

to just ...............

I'm fighting

I fucken swear.

I am

Swimming up

I am. Trying!

to get to the surface

I face the incoming waves, letting out a warrior's cry

but the billowing breakers invade the opening of my mouth.

Raping me with its torrents.

The surge of their speed, ripped clean my clothes, tore off my hair. And with no loyalty to their victims I'm washed ashore.

Butt. ass. naked.

I come to. Stars dancing across my eyes

I think that was it?

............was it?

I'm just going to lay here until the sun eats at my bareness.

I contemplate covering myself

Ah fuck it. Let my uncovered tits stand as a trophy to what just occurred.
