Dream on an Isolated Vessel 1


The water beneath me was a retched
Cold
Obsidian slate.
I could hear the waves,
They crunched parts of the vessel.

This was the end
And I let a tear go —
The tear was lost in the water 
of unending dimness.

It really seemed 
too dark.

A fragment of metal emerges.
I’ve lost my mind now.
I go to my safe spot.
I jump in the water.

Everything that touched me
Turned into fragments of lost somethings.
But they hurt.
I gladly floated on my back — 
pins and needles constantly stabbing me.

I then knew
what it was.
We were to be devoured
by all of these pieces thrown away — 
tucked inside of our bodies until they’re too big
And you explode.

I know what it is now.
And so do you.
