Waterlogged

Where is my mind?

Drift nets drag the waters

In their wake, only empty shells and

Skeletons of sailors

That used to brave these white-capped waves

Reefs of serenity are scarcer these days

Arthropods feast on what little remains

Ceaseless currents crash in all directions

The cephalopods claim my scattered wits for their collections

Insidious beasts dredge up bones from the depths

Oceans don’t belong in heads

No sleep until the sea is dead
