Selkie

You stole my fur skin
Left me out in the ice, marooned and I am naked
A harvest moon laughs at me
Shivering with cold as I clutch my bruised heart
Shipwrecked
Battered by the harsh North winds, I choke on my hair
I need to go now
I need to dive where I can no longer be found
As I plummet into the deep blue
The depths serve me a transient salvation
From the words tinkering with my head
All I might have said or might not have said
Effervescence tickles its'way up my legs and I feel little once more
Snug in my womb
The distant sounds evanesce
As I separate, A selkie, I always knew
From the day you cast me off the shallows
I floundered, wanting to sink but you kept me afloat
When my home is really down here
Encapsulated I pull weightless shapes
Not wanting to say goodbye
But my mind whispers melancholic soliloquies
and instead, I pine
my cunt instinctively rocking
because I need to fuck you
I am a danger to myself
You make me so perfectly desperate
Mixed up with past and present
let me sleep, underwater love.
