i. drowning
he doesn't feel
anymore
he's numb
now
shame
he'd forgotten how that felt
he'd forgotten what it was like
to have no-one by your side
mhari had been there
now she wasn't
back to being alone
the cold darkness
swallowing him
and he's
drowning
he can't breathe because the water
is filling his lungs
and he can't see
because the water is
in the way of the sunlight
down
down
down
he goes
the ocean bottom
at least he's stopped falling
...
for now
