**topic* * i swim in the blood under your fingernails
by Kimberly Bareyou raked
through my life
like nails
into sweet flesh
taking
whatever i offered
with not a moments
regard
too soon
i reached out
to grasp
empty smiles
and
sorrowful sighs
i thought i could swim
in the blood
under your
fingernails
i thought you my
buoyancy
it seems i was only
drowning
all the while |
