Like Warm Water

Zoey Foster 2006 (Baltimore)

Elegy
The crystalized glisten of water
Warping around your body like ocean waves
Your eyes luring those to seek you
I hope I don't deceive you
Sharp grass reaching towards the sun
Impaling us as we run free
I want to share this experience
I want to remember the adrenaline
This joy will not stay, but I'll hold out for you
I wish we had more time, Andres
Even when it's gone cold
I'll walk away to seek a happiness
But you'll always be like warm water to me
