once while  drowning

sheepishly

in the Black Sea

a big black boat

snook up and jumped

me from behind

 

after some time I

pulled what of me

was left together

tucked it up safe in

screeds of belly lard.

 

a rescue party

arrived and asked

me if I’d seen me.

I said a curt yet

polite no and

crawled back ashore.
