Sinking
Running across the board,
the crew shouted: The ship is sinking.
Deep within the sea,
I had a sigh of relief.
My eyes fixated on the watermelon,
I started imagining the taste.
Chaos became the melody.
Sunlight was the signal.
I ran towards it.
I’m alive, I thought,
my eyes still closed.
But the sigh of relief has turned into guilt:
I can’t have watermelon anymore.
