Big wide open mouth,
The skin is stretched
Trying to breathe with all those teeth,
Inhaling my whole sky,
It (is me it) is not the same alone,
Be careful to catch your breath
Before you,
Eat your fill,
Not knowing how to be anything else,
But hungry.
And I go just as deep as the ocean don’t I.
Drowning in Irony
But I picture,
The bottom,
Somewhere warm and quiet,
I can speak a new language
I write books, maybe they get read maybe they don’t but I’m writing,
At home.
On the way down I will be
Dreaming of my own end,
And it is,
So quick to catch,
The wings of the thing,
Tangled between my blue fingers.
