Watch Me Walk by Keri Noble

no mas

catatonic
     i keep swimming

in my own
invisible sea,

swallowing water like art on the walls
i keep
for a home
i'll never own

nobody sees them

much less (me).

i am no longer
who i used to be.
fish

swim
whales thrash...     all
this is theirs.

i don't even belong
in my own
                     (sea).

an ocean...  it
empties slow,

fills

back up again.
this is my vortex,

like a salt water bath tub and
i spin

round and round,
caught up

in the (massive) swirl
of

decline...
