Oyster

F. Waley-Cohen

Watching you drink me, feeling you think me, I drown in the threads of your thoughts as they struggle to sink me.

Alchemy.

Notes trill through my teeth like krill through a reef and I atrophy.

Barnacled bricks stuck limpet slick,

Knuckles are shredded, my blood runs thick,

Breathing the depths of your full fathom eyes, my oyster esh pinking in sympathy.
