By God, how did he jump?
Such an elegant dance
to a deathly submerge.
Rivers coloured with liquid gold -
colouring book worthy -
my lust

I'm spineless from waist down
I cannot transcend from this room to his.

Lily-livered and feeble, I'm adhered to my puddle -
unable to submerge, unable to rock the boat.
