May 2016
Dripping water
Licking my skin
Sipping sickly cells
Oh where do I begin

Moist and moldy corners
On the borders
Of my bathtub
Which I don't love
But I love being in

"Can you hear me"
"Can you hear me"
My voice echos off the walls
But the pitter patter
Of this liquid matter
Drowns out my calls

If I were a tugboat I would float
But I'm only human so I sink
When I'm on the brink
Of what I think

Will change the wistful way I wonder
And I ponder
This simple liquid matter
