Double Moon Above the Sea by Stephen Jarrell Williams

When the wind eases into nothingness
alone
scent of sorrow
leaving you limp
in the low glow of darkness

distant sea of rolling waves
double moon
yesternight and this the last night
you're out of breath
stumbling for the sea

wading in
the cold press of death
water lapping as you stand still
tide swirling around your chest
licking salt on your trembling lips

tilting forward
into the deepening waters
loop around your neck
each eye seeing a moon
under you go

lighter in the ease of giving up
and down you sink
eyes open and blurry
ocean world
near and far dream filling

awakening hours later
lying on an island shore
coughing water burning your throat
lungs raw
heart of your will not to die

for there's something more in the living.
