Slumpless

 

I licked the salty film from you

I coated my skin with your sludge

I was all over you and you were all over me

There wasn’t a moment of my day

Not a moment

When you weren’t on me, in me

Always flowing through my veins

Always driving me in uncertain directions.

Now a year has gone by

And although you still linger just a little longer

And I can still almost taste you

You’re a fading plume of smoke in the air

One gust of wind will blow you away.

I never prayed for storms before but this time

I need one.
