Shipwreck

Last night I dreamt that I drank all the 

Waters of the ocean in one sip

This morning I feel kind of bloated 

I psych myself up to get out of bed

And pray I do not dread tomorrow

As I do today

As I did yesterday

Blood rushes in my ears

And while I listen to the waves

I try to remind myself 

That a body is a home

Even if it is buried
