Cast adrift in a bottomless sea
Grasping to a styrofoam dream
Gripping tight this last gasp
One more glimpse at the sky
Dehydration
With exhaustion
Followed by Frostbite
Was that a nudge against my leg?
Fingers raisins
Final flex
I let go
Descending
Sinking into fathomless depths
farewell life preserver
The sun a fading star
in a rippled sky
Darkness descending now
Was that a passing cloud?
Blindness
And flailing
Lungs aflame
A final lunge and thrust
I’m bitten
And wrenched apart
Teeth
So many teeth
