Nightswimming

Does it deserve a quiet night?
My screaming underwater becomes an airbubble speeding to the surface and when I come up for air she smiles at me.
You didn’t hear me right?

Why don't you get naked

Please can you take off these layers of bullshit.
Through the cracks I can see that there is something alive under there.
But I pulled your strings long enough and I kicked your legs hard enough for you to keep laying there.
I want to see you get up.
I want to see this fake jacket you're wearing hanging in a tree.
It was never yours anyway.
Please can you take off this bathing suit of ignorance.
I know you are wise underneath it and I know swimming without it feels so much better.
