Surface Tension

Late at night
We dream slow quakes
Take the ride and fall inside
Swallow quick before you mean it
Late at night a pale suffusion
Come and slide beneath the waves
Heavy tide ballooning through you
Something looms, something’s wrong
Deep inside the undertow all of us green
Rolling in the overflow wallow and preen
Deep inside the undertow shadows convene
Underneath the undertow all of us green
Late at night
In the guise of someone less
Holding fathoms on your chest
Lambent beyond proportion
Sweel inside, luminesce
Deep inside the undertow all of us green
Rolling in the overflow wallow and preen
Deep inside the undertow, all of us green
Opulent lotharios shudder and gleam
Deep inside the undertow
All of us green
Underneath the undertow
All of us gleam
