There Is Water Here

We suffer in the hurricanes

We engage in pointless fistfights with motorized anchors

We gall our bodies on relentless hammers

We beat our hands bloody on apathetic stones

We battle an onslaught of over soaked safety blankets.

There, in the impossible distance so far away we think we hear a calling, calm water might be there

We run on the ouroboros treadmills, legs like burning iron weights

We wade through painfully viscous mud

We trip and shamble across monolithic deserts that know nothing of rest and reprieve

We pull ourselves, crawling through claustrophobic maelstroms saturated with paper mache gavels.

There, in what might be the not far off, the dream machine sanctuary, we imagine refreshing water there

We strain to stay up our hands caught in Arctic jaws

We can’t shut out the sirens call leading into numbness oblivion

We fail to hide from the crushing suffocation

We are thrown into the wayward calamity doorway

There, enticing unbelievable true sensations promising long disremembered places, crystal waters are hoped to be there

We feel our flesh grow seeping fissures cut by desperation

We shout to the point of hoarseness trying to drive away the crushing helplessness

We flail and cry broken and shattered knowing only how it feels to fight for breath

We feel the blood run down from our mouth and dribble onto our neck as we scream and howl and wail wishing only for the slightest alleviation

Calm leaves rustling

Bloody hands

Refreshing breezes

Suffocating despair

Clear crisp air

Unbearable constant agony

Fear not For there is water here

(I was heavily inspired by the song ‘Water Here’ by Bodies Of Water. They’re a very good band and I want to thank them for making absolutely fantastic music and for helping me think this up even though it’s probably trash)
