Pearly Gates

Swallowed by a whale, I floated in her cavernous body,

It was dark inside, dungeon-like.

With no option of egress, I swam inside the soft inside.

My pocket regurgitated my phone. My eyes lit up the inky space. 

It was as if I was at the Pearly Gates when my husband picked up.

“Help!”

“What you need help with is, not falling asleep in the daytime.”
