We swam under dusk                   Faces lit by moonlight Scavenging for scars                   So bountiful they are. I lost you in the coral Guarded by ***** – threatening with Their huge claws. Eels flashing rows of white teeth, Cutting tendons. And I could not put up a fight Swallowing the blood in my throat,               I ran. My bare feet cut by shells and scales                  My watery grave This mockery of us.

Watery grave
We swam under dusk                   Faces lit by moonlight Scavenging for scars                   So bountiful they are. I lost you in the coral Guarded by ***** – threatening with Their huge claws. Eels flashing rows of white teeth, Cutting tendons. And I could not put up a fight Swallowing the blood in my throat,               I ran. My bare feet cut by shells and scales                  My watery grave This mockery of us.
