My Darkest Ocean

 
 
 
I am not asleep 

Nor am I awake 

I am adrift 

Inside my worst nightmare 

I am paddling my leaking canoe 

Across a thick oil-slick 

A slimy and sickly syrup 

Polluting my Antarctic Ocean 

I see gasping penguins drowning 

I slide my arm around their grease-caked feathers 

Grasping their Frenziedly flailing wings 

Fervently trying to save them 

My canoe is rapidly bulging at the seams 

We are listing, and slowly sinking 

In my clutching arms 

We gather and cling together 

As the cold darkness surges in 

Engulfing my unfathomable dream
