Beneath my skin
a soul
sinking
diving
squeezing
My body
measurable
in volume
Known more for power;
My chest
crests
swells
sings
seeps
My arms
clasp
reach
All corners of the earth;
Mothered by
rage
tension
rogue
percussion
Held in
fear
avoided for
Submerged ancient nightmares;
With a depth
unseen
untouched
unknown
undertaken
Even my lover, the moon
dare not
beckon
Lest I reach for her;
Plundered
by net
by iron
mouth
opened
Hello acidity;
Necessary evil
swirling
gagging
choking
gurgling
Smoothing basins
chasing veins
consummating canyons
Forgetting their names;
Value?
overlooked
Bounty?
overestimated
Primates will ruin me
devour
every fish
drink
every drop
Gift me
belly
of waste
Inedible
Pollutants
The taste of the toxic;
Rotten.
Greasy.
Plastic.
