Drowned (photo/subject matter warning)

Drowned
Dreaming into a
shadowed snowbound forest
Immersed up to my neck in a glacial
river coursing pearl-black against its stark banks.
My sister behind me in the current
Turning to greet her but without a word
she shoves me under
I scream a torrent of bubbles
fight for the surface to break through and
hear the tilting trees and bleached sky screaming too before
gaining no more than a gasp as
water floods into my mouth and nose
Pushed under again
Chest burning
Struggling weaker
darker
surrendering to black ice filling my lungs and
collapsing into the silent bottomless void that opens beneath me.
-Frank H. Weeden

Powerful, Frank. You know what they say about how we can't pick our family members. Fortunately, there is another family here

Thanks... I like what Richard Bach wrote in his book, "Illusions." "Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof." I can vouch for the truth of that.

Thanks, Pam. I had the dream several years ago, and it ended up, sadly, being premonitory. The drowning was a metaphor for the treachery and malice of my sister. (Without families, phsychiatrists would go out of business!) LOL
It was good to finally get this nightmare to a place where I could actually write about it, and the images and photo work well to convey the horror that I felt, upon awakening from that dream.

Powerful piece of work, Frank!
Families.... I have no idea what to do with mine... They're still not talking and it's bothering me. Sometimes I think I shoud go to see a shrink about them...

Thanks... I've been revisiting a lot of stuff from the past lately, processing it, coming to resolution on some of it, and other pieces of it, it's more akin to peeling an onion. Life is messy business... (Still, it far outweighs the alternative)
