Undertow

As his mouth filled with water
He gained a new love of silence
Hydration killed and slaughtered
The loquacity of words upon islands

A message left unsaid
Referenced bereft, undead
Methods of verbose flows
Comatose in the undertows
Of rampant self-reflection
Adamant in narcissist inflection
Submerged as submersible
Urged to reach for a merciful release

To bathe in beneficent benisons
Of molecules of hydrogen and oxygen
Volatile but magnificent denizens
Ever in fluxes
Are measured at cruxes
Of decisions, to spit or to swallow
Whether one acknowledges hollow
But nevertheless seemingly existent predicates
Or purges feelings irrelevant

Acceptance and rejection
Of replicant injections
Of subjective and fluid conceptions one calls emotions
Notions aforethought imbibed like potions
Tropes of more thought of dihydrogen oxide
Make the lack of meaning decried
By the addition of a meaning outside

Would he drown with a crown of thorns
Or unrelenting thirst
Or give that he might live
By an unrepenting burst
Of the acceptance of nourishing aqueous expression

Hydrogen fused to brilliant luminescence
Oxygen used to fuel his essence
Burning and breathing to purge putrescence
of triviality and frivolousness
Yearning to bifurcate context from meaning
A grandiose voz speaks words on an island now gleaming
