water

some are quite lucky.
others feel desperation.
our sinking ship.

my face in your face.
your mouth smiles my happiness.
bubbles and dialogue.

purgatory blues.
a canvas wet and livid.
moldy and glaucous.

white is all colors
with the rainbow colored cold.
and black skulks away.

ice not cold enough.
the tongue of frost licks colder.
numbness not unthawed.

smeared gray like cement.
the world outside is grayscale.
cheap simulation.
