the thrashing of the see


when Swimming from thAt broken boat

and hoping-- to surVivE

froM climbing up upon the shorE

and being half alive:

 

wHen i awake upon thE sand

and Lurch uP from my grave

My eyes are rapid, damp, and dull

without my mind---a mazE

 

i sit and Ponder simpLe things

likE why humAns are kind

if i dont See one honEst deed

i surely must be blind

 

but as i sit there on bleaK sand

I sign off on my wiLL

for i have no More tears to cry

for thosE who sin and hide...
