I would rather
not come up for air
whyshouldiwhyshouldiwhyshouldi
No
I don't want to die
it's just calmer down here
below
the demanding ether
I wish for a while
that the bath tiles
would absorb all this energy
gnawing relentlessly
at the quiet places
that are so hard to find
hidden deep within me
I'm sure they won't mind
and
their cool, white faces
seem to agree
But my lungs start to burn
I have to return
so I float to the surface
and
take in the air
however demanding
Floating
balancing
between water
and ether
I feel peaceful
I feel
more
ALIVE

Literature
under
this delirium is like
a kiss: momentary,
placid,
and perhaps insidious.
dreams stretch their watery
fingers, listless
and profound, over these
reflections
they twine in my hair,
thread between my fingers
(like flowers, or maybe hope),
and drench my skirts
with lost longing.
look, pre-Raphaelites, Elizabethans,
Victorian women of all ages:
this is what comes
of daring to desire.
stars burst before my eyes,
flowers sprout
in my lungs,
the last ray of light has gone
and my world is black
and blue.
I am gorged and oversoaked
with sleep.
Literature
coefficient of fiction
in the morning
I am monumental.
my body is a half-
dream, a Goliath
of form,
before the sun rises
to dwarf it.
in this bleary light,
I can be anything.
Literature
Midnight Mathematics
My mindnight mathematics,
Pathological solution,
My mental acrobatics,
A silent resolution,
My broken numismatics,
Dead distribution,
My over-done dramatics,
A persisting pollution.
