A boat alone
On black water
White birds above
In the crashing
Of the waves
A boat alone
On black water
White birds above
In the crashing
Of the waves
A boat alone
On black water
White birds above
In the crashing
Of the waves
You can feel it-
Against the wood
In the splinters
Seeping in
Dampening and
Pulling downward
Heavy with
The sullen sighs
Of the wind
Dark clouds make
The dark sky darker
An eerie pillow
Pushing down
Suffocating
Disallowing life to flow
And its sinking
All sinking
So slowly
That our mouths gape open
Our breath is caught
As we reach out
Dark clouds make
The dark sky darker
An eerie pillow
Pushing down
Suffocating
Disallowing life to flow
And its sinking
All sinking
But cannot touch
Cannot stop it
Can only watch in horror
Until the last bit
Swallows it whole
And not a trace
Of the carnage
Is left upon the surface
Of the hungry black water
All sinking
So slowly
The dark waves
And our breath is caught
