Water

Armand Hemsley

Published in Pandora’s Box & Inbox (University of Chester, 2016)

 

His smile falls to one side,

limp and soggy like a partially submerged wafer

circling a mug of hot tea.

 

We drift towards the

drooping stern, half

snared on fear

and half on broken furniture.

 

The cold touch of the

ocean’s body burns

away at our feet.

 

The fluid noose

circles gently about the neck

and squeezes tight.
