Wet Gravity - Failure

She was giddy with remorse

As she skipped river stones

Off slick rapid rushing heads

Babies belched from below

Clenching shame in her stomach

It felt the same as the last time

Cramming fear in her white fists

Hoping this is the last time

She put rocks in her pockets

Knowing wet gravity

Shrunk away from the water’s edge

Fell down hard by a tree

She stuffed shame in her pockets

It felt the same as the last time

She crammed fear in her white fists

And hopes this is the last time

Brain squeals

Same as the last time

Brain squeals

She hope this is the last time
