The heat of the sun
perforates the clouds
and chars my skin
As I sink into the sand
And give up hope
I’m buried to my chin
I cannot ascend from strangulation
Unless they shovel to the depths
And drag me out to gasp
But they will not come because I know they Scorn this place as much as I do
Unearth the peace that I do not deserve
In this dead end lifeless bog
I dive in the tide
To relieve my burns
Head first in the deep
But the grains scab my knees
As I kneel by the shore
Swallow the sand and choke
They do not despise myself as much as I
Dig me up and see
How far I can go
Without drowning in the deep
Let’s see how long I can hold my breathe
Unearth the peace that I do not deserve
In this buried lifeless bog
Ill transparency
Shakes my vision
Pigmentation decays away
The waves breathe static
Pelagic reflection of ailment
Diptera eyes
There is no peace
There is only dusk within the current
Very few people
Scorn this place as much as I
But I wish they wanted me to drown
So I can give up hope
Swallow the sand
And choke
