I howl my pain
dirge of agony
Throes strained sense

awareness
Aque rides my body on
down a beaten path

Days spill into one
Bleary hours melt
I yield yet no avvail

Spasms whip me further
torn by a fever
ravished without death "Remember thee! Ay, thou poor ghostwhile memory holds

a seatIn this deistracted globe." - Hamlet
And in this river
I'll drown

By this cold river
I lay
Spitting entreatiesin servile breath

And in this river
I'll be undone
I hear the billows

through stranger thoughts
though stricken I aspire
to drown

Driven to greet death
trailing to the waters edge
I heave myself below

the waves
And cold water fills me
Seamless, without end

I blend from transience
Away from strain
in swaying light I flow

with the tides
to expanse of the ocean floor
in languid haze I drift

Sonorous through halls
echoes the ageless
soliloquy of the sea

ancient beyond time
I travel untold vistae
with lifeless eyes
