Summary: And then the only sound is the rasp of water in her lungs.


water drags her down, heavy hands catching limbs

and her lungs are sodden, heavy handed things

she gasps, grasps, chokes, and swallows water down

and breathes the heat of life to this place where she is found

above and around her, her chains and steely face

salt and iron, heartsblood, she sets her teeth to break

her ceaseless heart, andromeche

she dies, and lives and will be free
