You want it to be normal.Before the drowning,Before she reached the bottom,Hit rewind.Silence.Fast forward. Instead of too much,Now it’s too little,And her skin hangs off her disappointed frame,Chanting the same wordsThat dug the hole so long ago. It’s only been three years,And you don’t know how much longer you can standThis unplanned alternate world,Where you […]
Fast and sharp,the depths are cool and confined.Yet, there’s miles of blue,salt in my gills,invigorate my hunger. I don’t know what I’m hungry for.I hear each stealth movement,creases in the water,low and undefined,I’m enormous and alone.

The first sip,I drink in solace.Piping hot,sweet cream, coats my throat. The mug burns,there’s a slight bitterness.It’s only real,it’s only fresh, plain, how it’s supposed to be. To wake up to the warmth,every season passes like winded clouds,across the sky,I clutch my cup, stare out the window with wonder. The liquid feels like music,thrumming through […]
