The Plank

The Plank


        Look at the Horizon glow
               Look out down below
                       The clear blue sea
                               The sharks are hungry...

        Only four more feet
                Then punishment complete
                         Pausing to catch my breath
                                 Before the final step...death...

         Look at the Horizon glow
                     Look out down below
                             The clear blue sea
                                      Is swallowing me...
