night swimming

Folder: 
2017

there is something

so revealing about the dark.

 

the water twists around my ankles,

your name twists around my heart.

 

there is something

so freeing about a sleeping sun.

 

I shiver on these awake summer nights,

dripping and frozen and I would still do it again.

 

there is something

so dangerous about the letters night pulls from my lips.

 

 

I don’t know if I would say this tomorrow.
