Surf City At Night (Poem)

I dance, silver white waves wetting you as I splash.
I writhe, steel sharp and cold.
Panicked dance of death I struggle
Flopping back and forth, silent
Screams forming on my ever moving lips.
I gasp, chest heaving in despair.
 
I love.
 
Air clear, sky bright as your smiles.
I commit. Damnable world, damnable
Words I coughed and sobbed;
THROW. ME. BACK.
 
Wrapped in paper, laid on ice
While it rains and the last things
I remember are the smell of dirt
And pine and true friendship in the
Dark.
 
Don't jump in the ocean unprepared
Because you cannot leave unsnared and
Now, now I know, too late, I know.
I love you all.
