Squelch - Trevor Powers

It looks like swimming

The more we drown

Brighter angels know

The game we play

Somewhere I can learn

To breathe

12 feet of rain in the kitchen

Say the word and all’s forgiven

Yelling off the 7th story

Balcony, but no one

Heard me

Lead the faithful congregation

Through the witches' Brooklyn

Basement

Silent in my superstition

Try to not think about

What is at stake

Dressed as a hunter

But living like prey

Love made us dinner

I already ate

Celebrate home, break

Out the champagne

Spent every penny

Before you got paid

Painted the nursery

Before you got laid

Squinting from light

The setting sun made
