Poem – DROWNING (By Ajise Vincent)

DROWNING

next year,

when cavalries

of storms

shall come

riding

like the

flood of noah

& the earth

convulses torrents

on the passage

of breaths

i shall not swim

with fishes

or

mermaids

but savor

the utility in the ploys

of death:

the sweet business

of drowning
