I liked your use of the word 'brine' in the first line of the poem.

"Empty ears." It appears as though the speaker feels utterly 'hollow' on the inside. How fascinating.

"There's something beyond." Powerful message.

This was really beautiful, I enjoyed reading it.

Oh my gosh! This had so much imagery, it wasnt like I was reading words, it was like I was looking at a picture! I loved that! It made me feel like i was there, watching this person as these things were happening. Great work! Definitely favouriting! =D

This is really good! I could visualize a lot of it, and it was very powerful. Good job :)
