In your dress
made of
stones
you look up
and smell
stars
while fish
kiss your
back.
So you
float
and dangle
with bubbles
waiting for the
freeze,
waves
curling
in your lungs
melting hours:
this moment,
forever.

&quot;Besides, I can&#039;t get to where I want to go by conscious or unconscious suicide. I&#039;ve got my strange little life to lead. Leading it the best I can -- that&#039;s how I buy the ticket to where I want to be.&quot; - Forever Odd, by Dean Koontz
