the longest yards

are the last few

God knows how hard
was this stretch
heavy weights
heavy waits
the last strait
not the home one though
yet it demanded
several drownings

but the drowning
didn't occur
at sea
instead
inside
the drops
that became streams
that had their origin
somewhere
behind the rib-cage

when the lids are heavy
weighed down
under
just a couple of drops
those drops
they hold
much more
than simply salt
and water
