one word prompt: unknowable
i came to you half drowned and full of the ocean’s salt. mermaid fin tossed over my shoulder, shark tooth smile pressed to the inside of my hand. &
i came to you full of tomorrow, half madmy mouth pressed to yours & i whisperyour future. yellow is lucky. wait for the third. have you met me yet?
i came to you forgotten & tried to place myselfinside of your body. i looked for the seam between your breath & your blood & ripped
through it. you woke up choking, body full of nightmares & yesterday.
i don’t blame you for leaving methere.
