decomposition
of my mind into threads
and loops - swirling dust

the grit - the soil damp,
juicy dead vegetation -
bacteria - worms

the rain soaked shadows
of anxiety creep, seep
into my bones - grit

hold my head under
the water and stroke my cheek,
I breathe needles - gasp

did you dance alone,
on a midnight tapestry,
crying starlight, blue?

my name is water,
starlight bathes me and winter
gnaws my bones - eyes - fire
