#supernautical

Or if her limbs were locked by charred flesh

and perfect breath burned up within her 

So she couldn't fight the pressing water

As it clung to the wreckage of her lips.

I wonder if she couldn't scream 

Because when she tried to find the air

Instead of soot all she found

was salt

and water

and the taste of doused meat once it's cooked

I wonder if I couldn't save her

Out of hopelessness

or out of the greatest of Fears-

That rather than burning up in front of me

She'd suffocate under my past mistakes

and I'd seal her up with Davy Jones. 

I never had the certainty.

When I came to my sensors

She was gone

And so was I

and all I can think is
