Porcelain Boat

Wading in a shallow bathtub
Scrunched legs, black mold
My landlord never fixes
Head underwater
Safe at last
Epsom salt itches
My eyes concaving
To letting go

The dip soft spot
Twisting into myself
Thigh light heart

Closed not open
A door built at my core
Harlequin mirror, a pit engulfed in flames
Seeing someone I don't recognize

How much more of this can I take? The secret place
Ultraviolet, come closer
Ascent

I want to be lost
But I'm so connected

Canine hair
Camouflaged sheet, trying to sleep
Trying always to sleep
Macy’s nails touch my rose-scented skin
Mermaid thrust
I capture the ocean
In a cherub-painted cup
I'm awake, I'm always awake
