Steem-Pocalypse Poetry Day 9--Round 1

Water makes me think of drowning

Water is life giving and life taking
Strange
Strange how we can’t live without it
but too much
inhaled the wrong way
too full of bacteria
means death

I was always a little afraid of water
Afraid of the deep end
Afraid of losing touch with the ground
Now I have no touch, only floating
No breathing means no drowning
and that
at least
is a small relief
