You smell of sea salt

and the sea an evil green

your lips are cold

i look out the window

rain blinds me

fog rises from the brine

of ghosts

dead sailors

lost souls

lies

i do not dare look

at you

seaweed wraps around

your neck

snakes slither

out your mouth

a sailor of intrigue

deception

i pull the woolen

tight to my stone

body dead womb

freezing

the bed is rising

i am floating

towards

death

death of love

the worst death

wear your casket

sailor suit

wear it back into the

fog and sea

i won't hear

from you

you will be dead

alive somewhere

with someone

not me

i will strangle

the pain

and let my womb

bleed

i will bathe it in

sea water

and spit out the

lies

into night

and fog and sea
