Still Waters

by Anita Mac

Sometimes my mind fogs up
with a sickly slick condensation
that feels more like drowning
than impaired vision.

I’m tempted to say things
that make more sense
than they let on,
just to see if you’ll
pretend that it’s
the language of shallow waters.

no doubt, these stanzas of yours are lovely creations, Anita, and although they are two, they are lovely and affecting like a slew.

Probably won't speak up though, eh? I love the building frustration in this. It comes across so well.

Nice work Anita. This is definitely not words of shallow waters. Well said! --bf
