the bottom of the ocean

What is powerful and alive, warrior?

A pain wraps me around her finger.
___Splash into the liquid ground beneath us
___fall backwards
___sweeping gadgets papers money off a cluttered office desk
___into the ocean
___tip the desk and office in after

An enemy appears: tension, release, embrace

Threads like bubbles in a hose
try to pull me toward the surface
but their stickiness is gone
my stickiness is gone
they slide through me, and I sink on like a rock

The colors are clearer here, at the bottom of the ocean
Now that I'm blind
I have to feel them with my own two hands
