Salty is every morning

that I wake up

Salty are the raindrops

running black from my make up.


Salty is the river

when I dip my head under

Salty sweet water,

natures' most tortured wonder.


Salty is my laughter,

living in a tragic comedy

Salty, my mouths' corners

While I watch it play in front of me.


Salty is the taste of our kiss

because our love is harmful to us

And yet our bodies cannot resist

Two souls, both driven by lust.


Salty bed when I close my eyes at night

Salty dreams pouring out of my mind

Salty shoes, as I hug my knees tight

salty is the thread

colored red through my Life.
