i've soaked my lungs in saltwater
now they run dry
and the air i swallow stings
an aching nothing
it's empty
the oxygen that runs through my
blood and my body
is cold
i could sit staring through
the glazed wall of my eyes
as the water slowly evaporates
until all that's left
is a pile of slat
that my lungs just sigh for
because once more
i swallowed the sea i'm drowning in
