from my watery grave
i look through the reflection
of a dark tree
as it stands in contrast
against the grey sky…
a leaf floats down
to the surface of the water
and rejoins the tree…
clouds eclipse the sky
and deepen my tomb with their tears…
the last bubbles of life
abandon my body
rise to the surface
and welcome the shower of death…
lightning lances the sky
and illuminates the depths…
a mermaid swims by…
