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. &Â
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?Â
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.Â
i don’t blame you       for leaving methere.      Â
