keelhaul

do not forget
the sunset in wavy lines
the dolphins' laugh
the whale song
singing you to sleep
do not forget
the majesty of the deep
as keelhauled
you are dragged and drowned
take a moment
and appreciate the sound
of your lungs pushing out their last
enjoy the beauty of your ending
when it's too late to change the past
mutineers and rebels know this
as they wave to Davey Jones &
let go, let go, let go and
hope for bliss
