i'm a pool of standing water
catching quick the eyes of you
in a frame of blue
the bottom of your boots
will be the last i see of you
i'm dry by noon
after the storm
i fell into a puddle
of oil tinted water in the sun
you looked down
lovingly at my organic form
and your reflection staring back at you
i'm a pool of standing water
catching quick the eyes of you
in a frame of blue
the bottom of your boots
will be the last i see of you
i'm dry by noon
i will be around
when the drought has stopped
on the tiles where you've mopped
i'll follow you around
i will seep into your socks
soaking every step you walk

Stuck

i'm still learning to live
with water under the bridge
i thought that i could paddle through it
submerged in a tank of fluids
i found an easy way
to be alone
a ladder through the layers of me
you walked me home
stuck outside
at dusk with a blackened eye
i see fog fill the streets
i hear nothing when you speak
i held your hand in mine
the best intentions
if i was calm
i was fine
i feel im on the mend
thank you cards to send
this medicine it keeps me honest
shod and saddled
strapped and harnessed
i found an easy way
to be alone
a ladder through the layers of me
you walked me home
stuck outside
at dusk with a blackened eye
i see fog fill the streets
i hear nothing when you speak

my shoes are made of stone
can you untie the ropes
i'll swim up to the surface
my eyes all filled with purpose
if i sink back below
can you just let them know
that air is seeping slowly
out of the raft you're rowing
you'll reach for anything
i'm beached and decomposing
i'm more than rotting flesh
i feed and house the fish
i'm that you'll join me
the bottom's awfully lonely
the search for evidence
will end when you dive in
we're mummified in sea grass
the kelp fields rise like stained glass
you'll reach for anything
i'm beached and decomposing

Ideas of Reference

after the walls had cracked
upon a steel beam you latched
a bug caught on a sheet
you writhed amidst falling concrete
dry wall dust came like a fresh plague
two by fours were tumbling aflame
look what you made
you read the warning sign
posted by the door outside
this is how it was planned out
careening down the conveyor belt
you would tell me i was insane
tunnel vision's just a cheap way
to stay entertained
