an ocean
too shallow
to drown in
too deep
to swim through
too cold
to fall into
recovery sounds like
bells in an ivory tower
echoes too loud to
ignore even though
my temples are
beating in rhythm with
your clapping hands
your chattering teeth
your cracking bones
which is to say my
head is a fire pit
ready to welcome you
