oh no

what comes after a word like that
(you know)

the right word is not "puddle"
not "mess"
not "loss" or "lifeless"
the right phrase was not
"come down"
nor "stay up"

(i see you)

"don't drown"
could be said, held
under

writhe
ache
echo
moan
writhe
ache
echo
moan
writhe
ache
echo
moan

no words
are stones

to step
a way back
way back
back

rest here.
throb



&
hold
the enormous
terror



it's fascist
will be said
queer, will be said
sad will be said
thrown back
all wrong
all wrong
