edwin rambo's "the whale"
im sinking deeper and deeper into this hole,
and the whole time i feel as though im not alone.
i look around at the nothingness but i know,
deep inside me, that something is there
so i keep looking and keep swimming farther away
to find the nothing just around the next corner.
deeper and deeper i swim, still scared.
and the fear never goes away, it builds.
the deeper i go the bigger it grows.
i cant hold my breath any longer.
i need to scream and everything has to escape,
but when i open my mouth
nothing but bubbles come out.
i drop to the end of darkness,
where i will make my home.
