Toteninsel

I have sailed dark waters
felt the storms
lash my back
seen monstrous shapes
circle slowly below
lurking in depths
or snuffing the currents
of my life

Now I see the black shore
all foam and rocks and bones
the riptide turning
drawing me in, 
no matter a backpaddle
I can't see if there
is an island beyond
or just great grinding
reefs
