Kim Van Breda Poet Light Verse

Aquatic Astronauts

AQUATIC ASTRONAUTS

beneath blue depths they train
it feels a lot like home no gravity
you see
moon shine and ripples
floating bloated bodies
and airtight head gear
of steel

here they speak universal 
truths
vernacular bubbles
in claustrophobic
booths
delusional dialogue 
hydra hallucination 
days of depraved
youths

brains strain blended in bends
above harsh daylight hammers 
pound
buried under static gales
where sanity is lost and
found

dispersed authenticity  
drowns whilst spoken universal 
truths
rest calm in underwater
booths

transcending 
tranquil peace
resounds

(Astronauts train underwater)
