my body sinks
the blue rises up and over
my ears
i hear
a beat, beat
beat
it echoes through veins and bones.
steam lifts off the soft-lit lake
the islands fleshy and dense
displace
my mind falls over the edge
the five suns flicker and
skin dries, buckles, peels off easily
in waves
little shivers fan out from the base of my skull
and my right thigh, up
the islands quake as if
at any moment
they will be split asunder
beneath their reflections
my heart beats thunder, thunder
the water grows colder
my heart shudders and bursts open,
deep waves ripple outwards -
my body disintegrates -
i watch as islands drown
my eyes with them
