what the water gave me


was clear line of my belly

filled with salt & seashells

holes, much like my memories

fading away, a ship in fog


was bed of drowned summers

plated in orange light,

i should have said some things

let the tower fall & shatter to ash


was illusion of calmness

yet underneath are currents 

a puzzle of faces

a skeleton, whose bones i still

do not know


was questions 

do not need answers 

not right away


see my right foot bleeding

i still do not know why
