Drowning! 

From the edge of the rickety ancient boat you slipped.
Hit the water with a near silent splash.
The water is tropical.
Yet.
Sensation of ice nips as your being slows down.
Melancholy of nothingness invades your dying brain.
In shock. 
Rapid loss of conscious thought.
Before you drift deeper into unconscious lapse.
A real need to sink or swim.
In self preservation.
One last vain attempt.
The brief pain of realising.
No ground you feel beneath your feet.
Would love to panic.
Your fight's all gone.
In what should have been a desperate panic to save yourself.
You became aware that all was lost. 
The bubbles dance to the surface of life support.
As the last bubbles evicted.
Heart breaks down.
Dying in this deluge.
Water.
A salty effusion body's dying rush.
No time to gasp.
No time to cry.
No-one even realised you had died! I wrote this in July xx
