TRACY KORN

LUNGSTONE

Like a bad lover
the rain waters come too fast;
they flood the river
whose blood courses and flows
into the sewer drain where
a stray dog drinks.

My head is held under the kitchen
sink faucet until I choke and crash

land laughing

splash and drift
        I forget there’s no breathing
and remember that I am a stone,
hoping there is no water anywhere.
