“A poet is a nightingale, who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds.” -Percy Bysshe Shelley

Roar
Solid beads bounce off my body,
each of their masses colliding with my shell
and I am sore, sensitive from the pelting,
gasping with my gills barely open
a slit.
Upwards I face and solid streams form rolling
down my brow and bridges.
I feel drowning is the same enveloping
as the light or darkness inside
my pores.
Buoyancy is all I have
left to show
I am still
occupying
space.
Stalactites reach for the mineral world
they once had.
Days went and came
passing thru me
like water.
There was nothing new
to sea here,
save
the rumbling and reforming
beneath the surface.
