the waters running
and running
im thinking
a flush
a splash
a scorching pain in my back
pink and white embedded in my skin
the inner back of my skull is screaming
and pounds on all four walls
climbing up and down my spine
like release is down there
the skin on my shoulders start leaving
the nerves in my hands have stopped shaking
my eyes are running
and running
almost as fast as the water that pours down onto the back of my neck

im thinking
