Like Water

mania
my misfire of intentions -
I’m not there yet,
but it’s getting hard to breathe
there’s water in my face

one tempestuous drop
from delightful capitulation

treading the mud
that steals my shoes,
every frivolous thought
feels important

I feel compelled

if I can direct that flow
somewhere oddly specific
anywhere but inward
then, can I hope?

I’m still learning
how to live
not despite,
alongside -

beside the waterfall
not under it
I still get soaked
but at least I’m not drowning
