standing still
I let the waves crash
every bone in reach
leaving myself dissolved
in a river
pealing myself
I embody the currents
that sweep away
every motion
I move the natural unnaturally
[I am the wind in waves]
tie my hands
before I take humanity
by the neck
to stay a day under
the red
i am beneath wrists & hips
trying to breathe
Author notes
"The red," is referring to a river in my area. This can be taken as an act against water pollution! Haha, seriously, I keep reading it over, and it certainly can. Go me.
The last bit is not intended to be like, "oh no, I killed someone, such guilt upon me, omgz." Yeah, no. It's about being too deep to reach the surface [kinda cliche], and the surface is like you just being calm and collected, but like, whoa man, some dumbass is just blocking your way, so you're all like, "fuck you, if I was the current you'd be at the end of the line." Sadly, I suppose I am saying that power makes everyone happy, when really, we just like to think that.
Have I spoiled the fun? Oh no.
In reality, we all have our moments in the bottom of a sea. River? Ocean? Yeah. XD
Definitely not my best. =P
Tell me all the shit you can think of.

I really like this! It's kind of cryptic, in a good way, I mean... it makes you think kinda hard, but in a pleasurable way because you paint such evocative images. really lovely and with an edge, too. i love the whole ocean thing. and your author's notes are very true! haha yay.
