Wild Needle Raindrops

Wild Needle Raindrops


It rained inside the bedroom.
Outside these sea walls

the day is a hot red knot.
My body fills up with wet nouns.

Silence has a light-blue Spanish 
accent. The men in my photographs 

drowned. Their cries of distress 
stopped breaking the water.

I am a moist flesh statue.
Lightning begins, embedded 

in my feet. The walls crawl with electricity.
I doze off again listening to turtle music.
