wishing the words could drip out of her that way
phrase

but instead she runs
runs away from the crashing waves
the pressure of the earth's layers
trying to squish her into a metamorphic rock
she r u n s
to make the sweat, form the muscles, feel the pain
when she can't make anything else
and can't feel everything else
she
r u n s
because the doctors say it will make her happy
and the truth is
millions of milliliters later
it does.
