Split Open and Melt

In the morning, I pack up my gear

And toss it in my carryall

Run the wide load to the lip

And watch the big core crack and glow

In the evening, I undo my belt

Split open and melt

I wake up on my stomach

With my face between my hands

And crawl along the floor

Toward the doorway

Jumping to my feet

I try to pull myself together

But I feel it in my knees

And the room begins to spin

And I slip and bump my head and raise a welt

Split open and melt

We breathe deep

In a steam dream

And plunge below the water line

Down, down down down

Between beams

To the gloom room

Among the seaweed and the slime

Down, down, down, down

Down, down, down, down

Melt

Split open and melt

(Repeat 4x)
