i am settling floating suspended in the unsustainable adrift in fire and blood missing parts the predecessors, victims, of unholy theistic ritual being whole was a luxury oneness a virtue taken for granted in the box we lived and grew the comfort in the chill of a fimiliar place, communities cracked apart and tossed separated and forgotten the box was gone and elsewhere was hell to be thrown to the lukewarm sea facing the uncertain panic of no more in no time we disappeared, used and consumed one more brief, familiar chill stripped of the flesh, i am small

i love this piece. born from a prompt that a friend gave me to write a piece about cold water. my brain went from 'cold water' to 'ice', and then, "what do ice cubes think about?" kinda ruins the vibe of the piece when you know the subject, but i like that about it
