***

When you
crush my mouth close
I hear
the river sing
siren
whispers I should

                block my ears

rejoice,
it commands, but
the song
is only blood
drowning
from inside out

                i’m going under

this breath—
my first, my last—
is shared
your palm on lung,
willing
out an exhale

                i can’t—no—won’t 

give in
just tread water
falling
feels like floating
if you
can’t see the sun

               i slip underneath

and you
flare so proudly
my own
armageddon
so hot
and so bright on

               these incoming tides
