Sinking into lost buoyancy in the aeration
Sedimentary bloodrot and blackwater shoals
Where the worms and eels feed
Quicksand of surprising depths
Torrent of parasitic murk
Seeping, breaching, pestilent bile now
I separate the mackerel skin from the flesh parts
The flies and I have a shared taste it seems
I am becoming a pelagic school
I yearn for dispersal
My disjointed self-referential lagan lay beneath a looming current
This water makes me dizzy
I have grown accustomed to a swimming in my head
The pounding waves cast shadows behind my sun-shining gaze
I hope my influence may sink this way as well
Along with my name and what I may grasp
I miss you like the drowning remember air
Sedimentary bloodrot and blackwater shoals
Where the worms and eels feed
Quicksand of surprising depths
Torrent of parasitic murk
Seeping, breaching, pestilent bile now
I separate the mackerel skin from the flesh parts
The flies and I have a shared taste it seems
I am becoming a pelagic school
I yearn for dispersal
My disjointed self-referential lagan lay beneath a looming current
This water makes me dizzy
I have grown accustomed to a swimming in my head
The pounding waves cast shadows behind my sun-shining gaze
I hope my influence may sink this way as well
Along with my name and what I may grasp
I miss you like the drowning remember air
