Black Morning / Viscera

I woke up and found outside my door a black lake rippling against to the heart
It's time to slip the flesh from my bones and replace skin with the waves
I core into the black lake... head over... to the water
and pulled out my heart from the seaweed
but didn't know it's golden!

I came back with a broken summer and a broken spine.
Grazed by the heat and stung by the night
Tried yoga, couldn't do yoga
Wasn't the stretches, nor the downward dog.
It was a breathing thing
And upside doors, I felt my organs fall
Through my throat
One by one: liver, lungs, lungs, liver
lungs, lungs, lungs, LIVER!
They came fast like fingers
inside-out in one snap
And then the vocal cords
flowed like seaweed out of my mouth.
