i swam in a pond
its mossy banks
were slick
provided no escape
i was prisoner
of icy waters
a frigid, torpid
puddle who was
no kin of my own
tell me now where
you reside so i
can come and ask
what my heart desires
love,
hindered yet hopeful

dear hindered yet hopeful,
don’t come to me
i will pull you in
with the most sinful
taste of salt around
your toes and tongue
then with a breathless rush
i will push you away
knock you to your knees
swallow all your oxygen
i will never give you up
catch you in an undertow
carry you away into empty
vastness without escape
sometimes you will breathe
between the crashes
the stars will never
be more beautiful
