River, river makes me shiver
Wading into waters deep
River, river makes me shiver
As its sounds send me to sleep
River, river in the depths
My dreams wake and evolve
River, river in the depths
The mythic creatures crawl
River, river rushing o’er
The rocks, my spirit runs
River, river rushing o’er
Yet can’t outpace the sun
River, river tumble down
And with it take my sleep
River, river tumble down
As morning light I greet
Yesterday
I slipped with
The steak knife with which
I had just
Cream cheesed
My bagel.
At this point I handled it OK.
Don’t bleed out, girl, I whispered over
And over.
And I didn’t. It hurt. But like. It was OK.
Then I started overthinking it.
My god, if I didn’t just impale myself
Right to the bone,
Through my left thumb web,
The purlicue.
OK then.
Part three, I got a tetanus shot
This morning.
It gave me a reason
To listen to
The Pet Shop Boys for a while.
Well. She has you now and I hope
I’m not imagining it.
It would make sense
And for once I would
Be glad to have
Seen something
Coming.
