oh foolish lover,

how you trouble me

you swallowed me whole

and never bothered to ask

if you could

never a should

in the memory of time

for you care not for human ways

or trivial modern displays

of romantic love

you always knew, but told me not

for you could conjure anything

so you took a swim

you changed my blood

and made me yours

you are the sea

I lay upon your shores ...
