I will allow myself to dip deep
into this black oily water, until I
can't swallow and breath any longer its ilk.
I will allow this swamp to wash me
away
until it strangles all
life out of me.
Then I shall return, reborn and
with
new
light,
so that I can finish
what I came here to do.
So that I can die and move
onward.
