From the Survivors: A Poisonous Sea

The venomous sea

How well we swim naively

Sip the nectar feel the edge soften

You’d think we’d avoid it like a cancer

Instead

Flies to a flame

But never forget, how we survived

And from where we came.

The hallways were long and dark there

But the light was brighter outside

So safe and constant, a childs’ playground

Inside

The rooms were filled with ghosts

I was creative

Safe was a place you kept

never rock the boat

while he slept

be silent,

keep still

and the stillness kept in my mind

and stays to this day

can not  sit still in a quiet house,

I never feel safe.
