drydrown

sometimes

i feel so thirsty

i am like

an egg on the sidewalk

a fly in a car window in a parking lot

i am burning

im on fire

im so thirsty

and other times

when i think of 

things

that i cant really understand

that i cant explain because

i am not brave enough

[like a hand holding mine

and kissing it

and telling me

that

i love ---]

those things

make me feel

waterlogged, instead

i wonder if

there are enough cracks in my skin

to let that water out

or if,

if ever it happens,

that i will simply just

drown
