cold burns my lungs
eyes clear after blur
my skin stings
mountain water’s song
I surface
Tag: water
in the rain
hair soaked
and flattened
against my face
flame and water
steams my heart
kneeling at the river’s edge
water lapping my legs
sand imprints beneath me
he pulls me under
tree shadow dance
river dark paling the sun
kissing until
i see stars
Green water
lapping at my legs
I bend
fingertips dip into
river
heart never leaves here
body memorized it
when she was six
couldn’t swim
