Underwater

i don't let myself
advance toward the entrance
it's hazardous to contain
so cautious i'm insane
gasping for breath my
descent is reflex to
prevent the combat of
convex flesh writhing
growing while simultaneous
sewing my mouth shut
they refer to it delicately
i'm in a rut
proportionately passed
spoken too fast to grasp
underwater breath
cause & effect
much too low to say
no
