.


empty/crystalline

clink, small ice cubes

fall and bounce
and sound pleasant
reflecting the light
yet

my eyes burn
my throat burns

the moon wavers
like a carousel
(i empty the rest
of the glass
in the sink)

with a hand
on my wrist and
a tongue on my cheek

you are submerged
in my tears;
fevered and sweet
gliding on the surface

(a drowning swan
shaped from thin ice

we sob in the darkness
and taste in the light)
