Bathtub
Drip
Drip Eyelids closed
A rubber duck floats above a nipple
Tiled floor covered in faded pink towels
I learn over the bath We are losing gravity
Come on
Come up for air
Come up for air
I need to see you hyperventilate
Shiver
Your eyes would widen causing a miniature tsunami
in the tub I am above the surface Not quite immersed
Poised
Talking
Demanding you to elevate
Voice lost underneath
Come on
You can do it
Come up for air
Come up for air
Come up for air
Come up for air
