Ephemeral Life

my world is a bowl

of stained glass

holding an ocean of words

that choke

and drown

words that gain weight

the deeper I sink

and they crush

rip the air from my lungs

while I thrash

and gasp

reach for fractured light

but my fist is empty

and I descend

mouth agape

like a fish

in silent scream

and the water

drowns me

taking my

ephemeral life
