on drowning

By | 29 August 2024

hey, mister lifeguard
watch me
smooth little body
slick haired seal face

not lonely
surrounded (slow in the water)
i love you goodbye
becomes goodbye i love you

thinking of it
thumbing the rabbit on my neck
holding my breath
for a minute at a time

sorry about the house key
i know it was important
i know
i know

a crack in your collarbone
a pretty little smile
a bit of afternoon sun
an open wound in my stomach

miss it i guess
the wet embrace
soaking you through and through
walking you home again

same girl still
so don’t worry
your girl still
so let me know
