WATERED SONNET
A bodied river. Sleep embodied dead float down a body like it. River,
if I am also physical, is that the picture. Do we really find it scary. Maybe sleep is all the body
wants. Maybe I’m too quick to admit it. Is this separate. Is it touching is it feeling mine with a
body not mine like a metal heavy earring - shining, tugging the head downwards by the gravitied
lobe - or is it mine. If metal, I can understand the winter freeze. Prefer it as a body or prefer it as
part of yours. Does it sit on a bodycore like a stone. Does it big stone on the soft belly. Oh this
sitting on the soft. Ahold, walls pressed against the beauty lies. Behold who’s firm; a real
tougher. A chewer. A chewingsation piece. Name it Everything. Give it him’s. Make him hot.
Find him slicked. Make him mean to Make it real. Want
to find the house. Find it. Take the bath. Drink the bathwater. That's no sleeped river
water. The body can be drank from wherever since ever has nothing to do with it.
The mouth, no special place. The bathwater, water. The water, pained. Find it. Pain
is a constant swimming. Pain is waterproof! Is that what holds us, Pain. If I’m still, can Pain be
holding can it carry can it water if I sleep if I’m still I’ll dream to carry and be rivered.
