you swim
into mind
like starfish
and suck
clog
the thoughts
like seaweed
into mind
into thoughts
into the very being
of soul
into bones
use tongs
clip ribs
zip
tight
ache
press
brass
plates
you suffocate
squeeze
juice
out of life
drink
smell
embrace skin
peel
let it rot
force
the skull
to bow
crack
open
secrets
spill
excess feelings
you pack
into bag
and throw
back
into sea
into life
into home
into me.
