when you open your eyes.
I am breathing in water.
Sands around my feet.
Pretend it is okay, again.
bending over backward,
hands touching the sky
few choices, the sand bury the hands
What does the voice speak in silence.
when you open your mouth.
Your silence drowns over my voice.
Smothered in their flames
Pretend it is okay, again.
bending further, water boils
fewer choices, flame melts sand
What to do when the ears bleed
from the fish in the ear.
It burrows deeper.
Its eggs are hatching.
Pretend its okay, hatchlings
Break in the bend
Glass shattered, never truly freed,
burrow deeper hatchlings.
