“Treading Water” by Mitch Hicks

Posted on by lkthayer

“I’m in deep water
My lungs no longer cry out
Legs leaden stretching
Arms once so strong now fall asleep
Eyes mellow not in anger
Lips tormented with sorrow
Under currents swirling testicles
Toes curling around tangling weeds
Drowning in my own lament”

    I took this snap of Torside Reservoir a few years ago during my solo Pennine Way walk…… So pleased that it made it to the bar.
    Thanks Lisa
