I’ve felt the flood

It rained down over my shoulder blades

Finding each rivet in my skin

The places that make me who I’ve become

It fell hard

But the pounding was like a heartbeat

After running

Too fast, undesired

Exhilarating

It filled the crevices

My mouth and ears and eyes

Blinding me to the world

Salty burn mingled with

The flood
