#brine
I taste the salt, tears dripping slowly down your skin,
Let me hold you, insecure, a world that rises a within
On the lips of a Brine, water thickened a wholly mine
Laps a simple most elemental truth--communal wine,
After a morning sin, what remains--binds us we cling
Brined in the keeping, preserved immersed they sing,
Endured in the altered, held over for another around,
Moments don’t just pass thru you--full to fully found
They soak in you, live in lines I still feel you all along
After the surface in you dries the waves leave behind
I see you swim in the ware as the waters in you grind
O the endless of a sea, overwhelming, slips it in slow,
Gently, soft in a seasoning over the waters down low,
Linger, tasted, let my salt leave a mark on you a trace
On the legs of destiny let me show you kiss your face

neptune
seated in the briney blue
hear me
i can't help but think of you
as something on the way out
salinity increasing
water's quiet whisper, bursting to a shout
no real attempts at ceasing
what we know in time will come about
here's to the future refugees
here's to the dead sure to die
here's to weather we knew once
to the tears surely to be cried
and one for the men and women in charge

I Sleep ;
I Slip
In Doze, I Seep out into the Scenes ;
In Potions Deep
In Notions Cold and Preasuring
I Fit and Knit my Crown
I Coral
I Knot and Concrete a Frown
But though I Invite my Efforts
My Thoughting is Leaks and Tearing *
Over Whale but Underwater
I Recover Nothing Reassuring
Slowing to a Pale
In Ocean Cold
My Feedings are Slurring to a Drown
My Motions ; Enwombed and Collected
An Unfoetal, my Body Undertakes a Vulnerable Mould
Above
The Surface
The Ship Blinks, on Fire
And Gifts from the Broken Hold Sink to me
It's all a Wink Directed at me
A Humour
But I am become Prepared Still
For the Next Life
I Discard, Decending Still
A Treat Sunk Below
A Monsterous Breakfast
*note : as in, secreting saline, watery fluid
