Rip Tides
Dead serious this depression business rocky murky
with tides like a tsunami suggesting certain
drop zones
that kill
No swimming but drowning lead weights in my heart and no
wetsuit for balance and buoyancy no compass the currents are
dragging me
out and down
Inner pirates lure away from the shore and most of all
from my Self little devils like giants amplifying
what is there
and what is not
The lighthouse is dim and yet irritating a stroboscope racing
torched thoughts spin in endless loops and blinding flashes on
automatic pilot in
steady apathetic inertia
