Gene pool
The strain of alcoholism and depression
Runs from my father’s father’s mother
A taut anchor’s line
From the black, blind, patient mud
That waits to suck me down
Or stir up like squid ink, darkening the waters
The ever-present mire

It seems that alcoholism and`depression are often engaged in their own exhausting dance.
That damned mire - good description
