She taught me,
ultraviolence,
ticking, clockwork,
orange
standing in the sea, unafraid
of the
ferocity of waves, hitting
shores, bodies dragged
delving,
digging,
deeper to the roots,
souls buried,
hearing, I am hearing them,
scream,
the sky opens, filling oceans
poison, killing,
softly, wreckless
pouring that hope, a rope
strangles at love,
outcomes,
inevitability as consequence,
oh, the bamboo
piercing bleeding skin,
punctured,
gashes flooding sirens,
road **** eaten away,
vultures,
offering the,
only
company.
