you are a sea,
you are a pool, a lake;
I could dip in you,
for a while,
just a while,
stretch my toes,
move my legs,
back and forth,
forth again,
the hairs backswept,
swept up,
in your waves,
lapping at my shins.
your expanse fills me until I become scared of the consequences of such inhabitance;
intoxicating me,
my cells bursting,
leaking through the pores,
my skin no longer a barrier,
bones breaking,
useless in such toxicity,
eyes fried, limbs wired,
teeth, hair, all to stone.
should have brought a fucking mirror.
