How many times my mind threatened me to drown—
but you in silence sat so near: "let me help."
Suffocating blood metallic, guilty laurel my crown:
how many times my mind threatened me to drown,
rust-stained ashes smother suffer spiral down
congealing needled skull slitting shredding rendered pulp
how many times my mind threatened me to drown!
But you, in silence, sat so near: "let me help."
