A Mind Beneath the Waves

"I was seven. You were sixty-something. Of the three of us --
you, me, and the alligator -- I'm likely the only one alive."

"... indigo velvet
curling around you.
Sleek and electric

blue, you stand
wreathed in flowers"

"...I would like to believe
my mom's advice as the
truth & future

that will be waiting for me
lovingly, a promise
not prescribed nor bottled
in the orange plastic resting
beside my bed, waiting for me
to wake up to take it again"
