Aquaphobia

By lupus tenebrae

 



Yellow phobias
and ivy precautions,
two sides of the same 
doubloon, since oxidizing.

Contrasting the beauty
of the shipwreck
that’s read like an open hull,
as written by Davy Jones.

Buried in its patina
like it always should have been,
with bones of arrows pointing
forward, at my fear of drowning

Awhile back, I returned to a vulnerable state, the world became a scary place to me again, as I darted off to town, this piece was all I could think of.
