I think about your secret rage & go crazy
I think about the sea beneath the foundations
& drown endlessly // gathering strength
for just the right amount of resistance
before submission
when I’ll let it all wash over me
like a crashing wave that has been
building // stretching // anticipating
‘til it explodes all froth & anger
oh, I must teach myself to swim
how to breathe underwater in between asphyxiation
how to leave just the right amount of space
in my lungs for air
as you crush it out, all power & sincerity
the most honest integrity
the most inescapable grip
the most man & monster // the most light & depth
like a drowned sailor & I
a lonely siren to your call
did I say I could swim
‘cos you’re pulling me under
we plummet, we sink, we sing.
