your head above water
your body dragged below
knees banged
knuckles scraped and raw
the cold water numbs
your thoughts hang above you
as you are rushed through each rapid
heart beat blood to your warm breath
air freezes cheeks that are flushed
the red that seeps from slits on your feet
travels faster than your body
it gets caught on a branches,
along the shore
but you keep passing by it
the current is faster than your pulse
and with your hands out
they reach to touch the raw breeze
