cut into the color
of those waters
feel the past course through you
and then fall
graze the inside
of a woman’s thigh
flip this white frieze black

inhale the trail of fireworks on the shore
watch the world explode
before your eyes
lift these threads of memory off the floor
weigh the seas you swallowed
to swim here.
