...and counting...

engraved
from 4/11/'02

hope and desperation
spill into the same pool
and I'm dogpaddling
swallowing water
seeking resuscitation
and I can breathe
and I can't
water by the gallon
coughing and choking
I have put myself here
under these endless waves
I have taken the dive
and embraced my grave
