I'm treading water,
me, a mass of skin and bones,
struggling to float,
amid the swirling waves.
I keep wondering how I got here,
though I should be figuring out how to get to shore.
It looks so far away,
the sandy coast and dunes
appearing nearly flat.
The death black jettymight be closer,
it's jagged edges welcoming
only due to its solidity.
How my limbs are aching,
my back and neck feeling as though
the tissues inside have congealed.
How did I get here?
All alone,
treading water...
