I’m under
the world when it heaves
a big sigh and takes
small breaths to move
to turn in space
I
am under
hard rocks
that pick axe splintering into my skin
like earthen needles
they dig deep in
I
am
underwater
searching
my eyes are big marine lights
trying to catch pockets of air
to keep breathing
Under
I am under
the weight of my own body
along with the mental fears
I hold in my flesh
trapped under my skin
I hold her under
drowning in the blood of my veins
I drown her in the morning
before I start my day
I submerge the mouth nose and ears
drowning her
drowning all my fears
