'Dread is Drowning' and 'Unidentified'

Dread is Drowning

The dead girl felt herself drowning:
sinking, sinking, sunk.

Panic, terrible and thick,
Caught on the tip of her tongue.

A beautiful world bubbled bright above her,
Her eyes could no longer blink.

To take in all that beauty--
well, there was nothing left
to do
but
sink


Unidentified

Things I lack:
sweet dreams don't cut it anymore.
Instead, all I feel is
cut cut cut.
Cut up, cut out, cut cut crazy.

So hollow,
masking something scary swollen.

Harboring Gollum
was a place I never wanted to be.
