Knee Deep

by S.J. Tyler

Roll over my boots
Past my ankles
Sewage seeping through the tongue
Keeps rising
Thick foaming, slowly like dough
Slosh it around, kneed it
I need to get out
But I’m stuck in the reeking sand
Pulling me in
Up to my knees
Knees deep in it
Shit!
Watch it silently still
Don’t call for help
Just stay and watch
Don’t fidget, let it take it’s own time
I have no time of my own
It’s already eaten my watch
Hop level, hands in it though
I could use the rope you threw me
Haven’t even tried
Rope can’t catch the detachment inside
Mind has cut off from motor skills
I could move if I wanted to
But I guess I don’t care
Breast deep in this mess I’ve created
And I’m just going to stay there
