eighteen fathoms deep


longest plunge

turbulent lunge

pounding chest

breathless lungs


resting below

roiling undertow

senseless slow

and infinitesimal


eighteen fathoms

winter's weight

pressing down

fear's sluice gate


numb gelid blue

being coagulates

thoughts cease

mind empty waits


lifetimes scroll

in deathly peace 

suspended soul

motions release


cold door opens

dark current pulls

towing down to

deepest shoals


water's embrace

prevails over will

drop off steep

perfect and still
