Oilfire on water

in #poetry7 years ago

Salty hair,

Tossed back like waves,

Crashes against rocks and,

and she smiles like sunshine on water.

Sinking beneath the horizon,

Incandescent in a swath

I swim in irises above green depths and

My eyes hurt and,

and I can't stop staring.

There's a soul in there,

if that means anything.

Like oilfire on water and,

and I can't stop staring,

And even my reflection in her eyes is pretty, and,

I wonder what she sees and,

And I can't stop staring,

And I

I

I guess I'll just fucking drown.
