I salted the *** until it screamed,  
Angel hair writhing into
jellyfish tangles, threads of
sea anemone twisting kitchens
into aquamarine mausoleums,
inverted zoology splashes
against the stovetop.  
Spine cracks, brittle coral peeled,
Shedding like skin I never wore,
Bubbles blur, steam whispers
I never needed it anyway,  
wet dreams boiling over
in the saltwater womb.
Weight of bone shrugged off,
the burden of standing-
became something soft,
Wax-melt back, fluid as water,
I dive deep-
Monkey crawling back to sea,
Beneath the waves
descent into salt and fire,
madness seasoning the soup.
inky kisses like forgotten sins,
brushing against soft lights lost in the deep,
Bone-trade freedom,
Wave-crash lullaby,
Saltwater womb rebirth-
Spine-less, floating, free,
another dream lost in the soup of the sea.
