Rock Bottom! Poem by Peloha Corobo

Down on the ground

Mattress of rocks

Trying to stand

“Rock bottom”
Only better

Almost upright

Unbalanced

Pushed

Heavy

Blanket of rocks

Stream of air

“Rock bottom”
Only better

Digging out

Rock slide

Bashed

No air

Straw

“Rock bottom”
Only better

Rest

Scavengers

Sniffing, peeing, nipping

Can’t move

Have to move

Helper

“Rock bottom”
Only better

Digging out

Together

Anger

Disappointment

Failure

Dig out

Alone

Can do

“Rock bottom”
Only better

Digging up

Landslide

Covered

Creepy crawlies

Nibbling, Sucking, Extracting

To deep

Voices

Digging down

“Rock bottom”
Only better

Hope

Digging UP

Pity

Digging DOWN

Pain

Hurt

Hospital

“Rock bottom”
Only better

No pain

Oops

Last breath

Darkness

Tunnel

Peace

“Rock Bottom”
Only better

HELL!
