IT by Sarnia de la Mare #poem #scifi #fantasy

It


My morning swim wreaked havoc

on every cell of my sleepy skin.

As the silver water lapped around me 

the black night faded

with a hungry sun,

and together we took the day for ourselves.

Me, the light and the sea.


It begins,  

as many things do,  

with a shadow.

I held my movements 

treading water with the stealth of a crocodile.

Waiting, watching.

I know it is there, under the water.

It is coming closer 

feeding off the deafening beat of my heart as it ripples the mercury surface.

There was a sound I had not heard before.

Baby cries and angel wings echoed in a ravine.

And I listened hard 

in an ominous wait for what was next.


The shadow rises, wraps itself around my torso

and tries to pull me down.

A rampant seaweed with a killer motive

Strong like father,

Invisible.

I remembered the shark warnings

Play dead 

Eyes closed and limp

dreading the outcome 

I sank into the power of the beast

as it thrust me up out of the water

into the sun like an offering of life

on a jet of black oil.


And suddenly I was gone,

It and I were one
