the spiral sweeps you into
the middle of the bottomless ocean
you breathe
one two three
hold release again
the gloomy thoughts
clutter
you imagine traps
snagging them
carrying them into oblivion
The night gets
too dark
you turn on
the light.
This is how
you survive.
This is an excerpt from the book of poetry, this is how you live, available in both ebook and paperback form.
