heavy weights.

i am still at work,
deciphering your plans, long-winded talks.
i used to have dreams too.

until i was swallowed up-
the ocean pulled me under
i did not drown, just nearly.

i could not save myself from the fear
of the water, too cold to touch,
it was strong enough on its own.

i think the ocean has
swallowed my dreams,
but i won't know till morning.
