Whirlpool

 

 

She had barnacles

Attached to the backs of her hands

A sea creature

One of those

Raven rescued her spiral

Whirlpool

The music crashed rhythmically in the background

We lasted this long

May as well finish this business

Of swimming without air

How come she was only covered with hair

Nature knows no need for clothes

I too swam and turned round and round

Waiting for a great white to fright and bite

To no avail

There is nothing out there these days

All the fishes have gone – swam away
