Drowning

Drowning

A Poem by Kate Henderson

Can you hear me? 
Plunging deep down 
Water bound 

Hands like bricks 
Falling from earth 
Light fading 
No air in 
No air out 

Brain hits the panic button 
On red alert 
The will to escape 
Grows intense 

Reaching, reaching 
Pleading to the bricks 
Unleash 
Exhaustion but power 
The will never fades 

Pushing out 
Unleashing the Pythons 
Lifting up and out 

Life returns in an instant 
See the bricks 
Helpless still in water 
Can they hear me now?

I suspect much introspection leads to your unusual and lovely creations, dear poet.
Please keep gazing deep into the rhyme cellar of your soul, I delight in your vintages proffered.
