Drowning Pigs

Spilled liquid. Pink, translucent
pigs - pale-coloured, lines of oily

ink. They are drowning: boat on water.
Pigs in water: a pink balloon in blue,

that speck descending down in emptiness.
Their flesh turns whiter; turns dim,

close to blue. It is sinking. Slow,
desperate inhaling. A limp twist of

legs. Then - silent: and never a new
sign of life.
