out to sea

poetry

inexplicably there are
days when an inextricable sadness
overwhelms me like an understated
undertow and i’m swept out to sea for days
despite your best efforts the lifelines you throw
are sometimes just too short but please know that
there are somethings one just has to do alone, like
drown.
