the pool
Poem below but THIS is how the linebreaks should really look; I need more space! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EriAJ2bkdfThKkemNxpCZxsZUxixKxKKpuRqDeI1Nsg/edit?usp=sharing
the pool
polyanna, for the kill
as usual, i drank in
all the sparkles of night water
light; this is our flying, you said
and it was
but it was a sideways
dream, a folly of a child’s mind;
(a doll without a name floats in
the shallow end); i wanted you to hold my head under water, as foreplay, as my surrender to our danger and i wanted to play splash your face with a new universe and spit it in later
and just when i was ready to really really live
you gave me everything the old me wanted–
the still forever
all the way
under.

You really captured me with: “as usual, i drank in/all the sparkles of night water/light; this is our flying, you said/and it was”
thank you!
