I pass the shallow pool
And the water nymphs smile up at me
Out of the water, with angelic, childlike faces
...
Hot eyes
Burning salt
Dried on my skin
Constantly replenished
...
I feel like I'm falling
In too deep, to quickly
Too far, too fast
...
You look at me, and I find
That I have no desire to look back
You smile at me, and I find
That my stomach stand still
...
There is no better passage than a book
To take us worlds away
To make us forget everthing
That has troubled us through the day
...
She speaks quickly
and with a heavily forced ease
As she reveals the identity
of his new love
...
A challenge
That's what it is
I never realized it until now
Whether you intend it or not
...
This one here with cheeks like roses
And lips parted into a magnetic smile
This is the one I'll wear when I have to please even the vile
...
Who is that person looking back at me?
That form in the photograph?
The face in it seems familiar
Like a skin
...
