Tonight's Poet Corner: Sinking
Sinking by Belinda Roddie they say if you find yourself at the bottom of the ocean count to ten and you'll resurface by an island painted gold the bottom of the ocean cradles coffins full of children who were once sailing to a brand new world painted gold if you're worried about drowning at the bottom of the ocean pretend that you're no longer human and somehow you'll magically breathe water and salt breathe seaweed and kelp breathe fool's gold and wishes from spirits trapped behind portholes
