B.U.B. (Belly Up Buttercup)

Adrift in a lonely sea with no company
Verve and vigor exhausted without moor
Heavens weight does further drown
body water bound
Raindrops touching tears
indistinguishable

Limbs churn vast open waters until sinew burns
Approachable, no man is an island
All redeeming behavior
the savior will shun
Remains wash ashore;
a beached shell nothing more
