The crumpled ocean is
No boat trip
The dark waters
Stole my clothing
The shape stirs beneath me
A pulse pounds along bloodstreams
The first bite marks the beginning of
The clotheless wrestle
With the clotheless animal
Bare those teeth to me
Please, man eater
You can see all of me
Naked with fear
This is the test I left land for
To grip flesh and pull muscle in
The vice clinch of the struggle
I can’t give in to the weight of
The clotheless wrestle
With the clotheless animal
Animal
Animal
Animal
My enemy
Please stay close to me
I’ve no breath left
You cold breath thief
The last gasp from a burst lung
The fight fathers, the weak son
The last taste of salt in my mouth
My skin breaks with no sound
I’m torn
Limb from limb
There is bone, there is gristle
And spit
In the clotheless wrestle
The clotheless animal
Animal
Animal
Animal
Animal
