I have nothing to fear
Victoria McAuley
But drowning,
Or maybe tsunamis,
Or monsoons,
Or even rain,
Actually, any body of water really.
I hate the idea of looking below me
And not being able to see what creatures
Are lurking under me to find their next snack.
Or being too distracted by that to
See a giant tsunami wave crash
Over me and haul me out into isolation.
Oh, there’s another one.
Something else that sends me into hysteria.
Isolation.
