As a child, I Almost Drowned, not once but Twice,
So, I have put off Learning How To Swim
But I still Dream of it, I Imagine it.
Probably more than those well acquainted with the skill
I can see myself floating falling suspended in the cerulean solution of the sea
Cavorting with all the creatures
Sinking in The cavernous darkness the fathomless nothing
This is where my mind lives
Some Thoughts on Intimacy
With My Lover: A Lumen Print Book
-Alaina Hickman
remember those
bridge babies
the seeing and sought?
I am had and that which
you keep
baskets of permanence
you watched as my
innards were cleaned
when I acted as god
you carry those who
come from my womb
until they carry
themselves
it will be us again
but
with all we have done
