i lie here
floating
surrounded by clear cool water
white all around me
confused
wondering
above me a full moon
eclipses a black hole
from whence i came
beneath me a path
my way out?
i hold my breath
and allow myself to sink
realising the inevitability
of the future
and the futility of struggle
i let the current take me where it will.

you can feel the pressure building in this piece... there is the sense of pushing out each word, slowly at first, then a torrent pours out.
this is first rate.
This caught me by surprise - I've been drowning in life lately - it would be nice to float and then just let the current take me somewhere else.
