Partly

April 3rd

“Partly Submerged”

I don’t know why
I bothered
checking
if the water was too hot.
Cradled
in this porcelain cocoon
the water slowly rises.
Flash
of metal in the flickering
fluorescent light.
Red
floats out in globs
like a lava lamp.
Water
climbs and with it it’s
metallic tang.
This is how
they will find me.
Partly submerged
in a sea of red.
