the drowning girl i once knew...

under a blanket
of seawater
face down
eyes open but blinded
in a pool of sorry tears

darkened wet velvet
floating wild hair
spread out
shimmering quietly alone
the angel
i once knew...

the world buzzes overhead
the hungry sea devouring her mind
a million moonlit nights
relentlessly spent
dreaming this up

the tossed moon rock
thrown into a pool of raging clouds
just like her
drowning
sinking deeper and deeper
the girl i once knew...
has gone to the sea
shimmering and still dreaming
