pink bath.

anatomical.

i want to drown
in your shadow
guilty of innocence
and purer than salt

i'm dizzy
from the way you smell
like freezing summer
heat and scarlet hipbones

paved rain
don't step on the cracks, darling
my skull never was as pretty as yours
shattered on the linoleum

i'm dizzy
touch me, ground me, drown me
all i want to feel is you
not the ghost of glowing air you leave shivering on my skin

touch me
ground me
so heavy i can't breathe
so far from the stars and the sky
desperate to breathe you in

shaking piercing touch of skin
collarbones and tongue, so bittersweet
knotted and burning
i'm drowning, drown me, drown me
ground me.
