U.S.S. Indianapolis

I am desperate for cascade.
Water on bare skin.

Clean off this fuel oil.

I made it 20 days.
I’m bleeding again;
Flesh wound seepage.

We few left clinging cry out.
Blood is bait.

Wounds heal slowly:
Decide where to drift,
Where do weapons hide
From kind intentions?

Sun pounds, stars mock.

Shark flashes to bite;
Depth becomes sinking.
