Snoqualmie

Held under water throat filling more with H2O than O2, she marveled at how the light changed; how sounds went quiet; how her body hungered for the one thing fading fast.

The lights, the lights, the lights [hands stretched up] [chest heaving] [legs stiff] The…...lights

Warm Kiss

Water ceases in the shower leaving me cradled in fleeting plumes of steam-- a small warm kiss before a long journey.

Each drop rolls down my skin at gravity’s order the electricity a shock; a weather catastrophe.

Time stands still I feel everything in the world at the same time.

I realize I’m a stranger to myself.
