water

supple silver sheet.
this mercurial water.
metal or magic?

in the other’s eyes
i see my own saddest tears.
the mirror my soul.

air is heavy sauce.
swimming through heavy water.
drowning in thick stew.

all families love
in very similar ways.
but hate uniquely.

rained on my parade.
my personal dark gray skies.
it’s personal now.

it’s my wet sad tears.
water on electronics.
my life all fizzled.
