Poem #22

Looking up at you though squid ink,
The eyeglass of the drowning,

I cannot tell if this storm is
The child of your eyelash

Or the secret of their lids,
Darkening the hemorrhage salt. 

Perhaps the only art is
Asphyxia, the breathless

Liquids of Leviathan
Drawing out our beasts with the

Hook in its gill, until seeing
And drowning are only parted

By the wideness of your eyes in
The rain.
