DROWNING IN YOU

Drowning in this ocean of you,

though I can swim. There

just isn't any saving

of this heart that

doesn't want to turn off,

of this oxygen used as if

wasting, but not because I

used it just to say, I love you,

repeatedly before going under.

Haiku 2

In the water pale
the rags once soaked for cleansing
now it’s unheard of.
