water

the slipperiness
of time swirling through clear glass.
broken glass and sand.

under the blue sky.
swimming in dry naked air.
fish looking at me.

what i have is free.
please pay attention to me.
snivelling writers.

knocking on wet wood.
floating on the hope of life.
drowning in wet words.

how do you smell, blue?
of rain and woods and gray skies?
or blue birds chirping?

bent arrows don’t fly.
from the corner of my eye.
barbed tongue grazes heart.
