Sad, I wished you were here in the lagoon with me

I could do with a rock to cling onto, sad, it just seems

that I was once lying on the shore, my shipwreck self

on the sand, and breathing and staring at the white sky.

hypnotised by the nothingness above, but then twilight

was soft and endearing.

 

The water froths between my toes and,

suddenly it's seeping into my eyes, blind, the bright

ness gone, fogged, no longer for I am marooned

and the mermaids, they are not kind here

like some I would have liked to know

reach the other side, never ever could I ever breathe.

my lips part, but never ever could I ever even breathe.
