Straws

You saw the day bend like a plastic straw
Falling further into the water, beyond sight
Into to the deep and you lost grasp of it
Completely
Your heart turned over within your chest
Your mind turned over behind your eyes
Many times
Waning into the water goes the light, again.
Ferocity holds your body straight
– Grounded onto the rained ground
Wetness around chair legs under the awning –
Fallen after a long time holding back.
The last straw sank into the water
Sands pulled it to their deep fields
Of stone. It was cradled
Bending, falling, the lightless drop
Falling and
Falling and
The long black cars waiting round.
Misshapen thoughts held you back
Forever
Many lightless years painted black
Debris swirling and
The day.
