Most people look for ships to rescue them, but you have this way of using words that I want to sink into
Dark waters never looked like love until you started lapping up around my skin and promising to pull me under.
Have you ever looked up at the sky from beneath the water? Watched as ripples dance across the clouds? And finally there is a tangible barrier between you and the sky and you and the marathon you tell yourself you'll run and you and the things you've been reaching for indefinitely and
it's so clear you can see everything but you don't have to come up yet
It's so nice to finally have a reason all around me, to be able to touch the reason why I can't breathe
And there you are at the bottom of it all, smirking as I reach the bottom of the bottle, following your siren call
in summer, steel-hearted girls play dress up, hiding fears in secret parts of their souls, swallowing keys to unvoiced thoughts, and swearing to keep their lips sealed tight
in summer, steel-hearted girls play dress up, searching for the perfect disguise
Coming together it is easier to work after our bodies meet paper and pen neither care nor profit whether we write or not but as your body moves under my hands charged and waiting we cut the leash you create me against your thighs hilly with images moving through our word countries my body writes into your flesh the poem you make of me.
Touching you I catch midnight as moon fires set in my throat I love you flesh into blossom I made you and take you made into me.
