Twenty-nine Degrees
My Titanic has long since grazed its ice berg;
long, long, long since...
Tell me,
have you ever felt twenty-nine degree water?
From the vantage point of your warm, sustaining relationships,
can you even imagine twenty-nine degree water?
Twenty-nine degrees...
twenty-nine carnivorous degrees
biting,
stabbing,
tearing,
grinding,
chewing
into every square inch of your flesh,
your spirit,
your soul,
your heart...
Like many of my comrades in tragedy;
honorable members of the North Atlantic Frigid Seas Society;
immersed from head to foot
in twenty-nine degree water;
I,
too,
have often,
yearned for the warm inviting blanket of lifelessness;
I have yearned
for death's welcome release...
Not today, though!

After I read your poem, my first thought was a heart so in-tune with empathy is a soul with depth and warmth.
I could feel the temperature and the pain you so perfectly described.
I also loved your last thought. It ended wonderfully.

I loved it.
It was spooky, and deep. a Little scary how much raw passion you have. |
