dear: [redacted] had a dream about you / body in the water. you held onto the poolside with two shaking hands and when you saw the look in my eyes you considered holding me under / drowning the spite right out of them. it would’ve worked but this was my dream, about you and i killed you first / killed you ‘til my knuckles turned white / to the sound of the hush hush water / to the last gurgling breath.
