Awake Hitting Icebergs
Trembling with madness
Within
I sense your coming
My eyes narrow and glazed
Intact
Fighting with loud and angry voices
Within
I hear you coming
My eyes wide and straining
Harder
Shivering with icy tendons of bone
Within
I see you coming
My eyes hard and pressing
Farther
Pushing with senseless strength
Within
I feel you coming
My eyes open and blindly
Shattered
Alive
And still I die
Aroused
And still I sleep
Alone
And still with you
Always
With you
Awake
Hitting icebergs
[inspired by the line 'awake hitting icebergs' from the song "Hole 356" by Thomas Gardell,
my nephew and godson]
