red rushing rapids
my body like hades in my fantasies
a fountain, a monument to my existence
scarlet core
crystalline structures,
hardened, still,
covering the parts i want to see,
and you don't. and i don't.
my heart pushes it out, drop by drop
its beating finally showing me i'm alive for certain
fractured, broken, torn,
but still there,
as long as the river flows.
