Poetry by Lee Minh Sloca

 

 

 

breathe2unbreathe

 

~~~~~~when i sink into unfathomable dream~~~~~~


bubbly love busts
soggy and bloated
stinks of incubus

even if i soul-dive
inhale molasses
tidal crest love trust and la-la

they hook line sinker me to undertow
gurgling murky current
bobbing up as skin-fling

speared from luna thick ooze
hope flails
to jettison all landmasses

air goes bad
earth goes slow
wade forever once solid

open lung swells
grip slips
as waterfall flaps back


~~~~~~a snapped twig beneath Maya waves~~~~~~
