Nothing To Do With Elephants

I have been sedated to live in numbness
instead of vivid confusion
but already, I feel like an elephant blumbering
lost towards you.

I'm not familiar with
filling your entire area of space
rather than the corner you allow me but
it sinks in quickly;
tranquilizer dart to the thigh and I become
subdued by the proximity, closeness feeling and
more area around me.

I'd rather collapse in a pool near you,
but the monstrosity of my weight in water
is too much, too much color even in my gray casing.
I've not been sedated
after all,
just dying - sick
of the sadness in seeing you
Drowning underneath
the pools weve established
As our connection.
The water of our words
Squeezed out as I suction it all
to Hoard it,
Storing for better teachers than my age allows.

The elephant too much to control for
All the footsteps my life has taken.
I defy you unmistakably yet by mistake
Still, I worship
as you fire fatally twice.
Killing me for the salt words inside.
 
You're obviously in fine form.

This should find its way into print IMO.

(I want my breath back)
