listening inwards; sounds of echoes relentlessly pushing against wind
forceful below the rigs of the ship, the sternum of the ship
breaking things in the pond and rocks climb against you
and the shards were made of amethyst that cut your skin
pools of blood coagulate like fish's blood in a tank
scraped against wood
blood evaporates
water evaporates
shriveled up ingenuine
ingenuity
shriveled up love
loveless / lovefull
bulging and dewy stuffy and thick overflowing and bloated
I told the sea from the start, in its ears, just the person I was
I told you from the start, in your mouth, just how this would end
how it would begin and where it would stand
