Whoever holds up the universe is blowing bubbles again. Rough waters, one silver body trying to rise above another. Wet with the wash of morning, I hear you singing. Your voice is breathless and blue. Surge forward you say. Lean in blind, I reply. If I could touch my desire, I’d drown it. LS 22 Comments Far down river in New Orleans, The river rises, high, in the summer. Her hands finger the dirty water, it's the lifeblood in her veins. The grass is trimmed low near the muddy beds where the water rushes by. Her hands, wet, dry in the sunlight as she stares at a little girl. LS | Poetry
