underwater



creature of gravity,
break your feet off the ground;
sever the vines that hold you down.
 
~~~
 
swallowed.
time stands still in the cold hollow
of the creature that fills you with its breath.
 
~~~
 
an alien world.
the whispers of its translucent skin
envelope you in a luscious, cold embrace.
 
~~~
 
you breathe through your pores,
one with the liquid wrappings that gently bind you,
suspended in a trap of time and moonlight.
 
~~~
 
what is left of your roots
rise up in orbs of human air,
unable to live submerged in the liquid of this dream world.
 
~~~
 
voices press against your ears.
the shapeless being that has swallowed you
is trying to whisper the secrets of its universe to you.
 
~~~
 
angel of another world,
watch the dust of a dying reality dissolve.
let the water renew your soul.
