Poem: Drowning

In the sea, I am alive.
In it, I drown
my aches,
their pain,
incessant brain noise.
Free of the weight,
the world’s,
my body’s,
I glide.
Here,
the salt comes
not from my eyes,
but from the water.
Hear
only breathing…
mine. I am reminded
how easy it is
to be alive.
Here,
all I must do is
breath.
