Challenge
If you were to drown...
Start a poem/story/prose with the phrase "if you/I were to drown" and just see where it takes you. Have fun! :)
Paradisal Abyss
If you were to drown
I’d toss and turn
in
Godless rays.
I’d eat the dust and mites
below my
head.
Save the remaining
snack below my
bed.
I hear your gurgling
throat being flooded
by that
trespassing
expanse.
Something about you doesn’t
stop.
Your arm is an
oar.
What do you paddle
for?
I contemplate your
remanents;
your metaphysical
ashes.
Tease me,
slash
these thoughts
in
t
wo!
Why bother?
You’ve drowned,
No one knows.
No one.
