Lengthening Time

Days pass as seconds melt
from the spin of the planet
A baby's breath
Turns to a cry
Turns to a song
All the layers & numbers
Began sinking into the icy waters
And Pitman, the Captain,
Gave in
Only boat #14 returns
A little over an hour later
After the cries have sunk
Into the Atlantic
's frozen depths
