Into the Drink by K. Tyree

...


Have you ever had a moment 

That should have been so scary 

                                                   And yet—

There was the fire of the rocks

The jagged haze of pain before

                                                  The splash

The sea welcomed me and I

Looked at myself as someone else

                                                   So free

My lungs exploded in a seawater chorus

Bound for the bottom, ever-dark

                                                  Rescued

I mourn those moments endlessly

The day I lost myself
