man overboard

 

“man overboard”

I heard the sailor

cold wind blows 

lightning cleaves the sky

whale songs in the deep

 

 “man overboard”

I heard the sailor

cold wind blows 

lightning cleaves the sky

sharks rise from below

 

“man overboard”

I heard the sailor

cold wind blows 

lightning cleaves the sky

black fins slice the water 

 

“man overboard”

I heard the sailor

cold wind blows 

lightning cleaves the sky

great whites taste the blood

 

“man overboard”

I heard the sailor

cold wind blows 

lightning cleaves the sky

I sink below the waves
