Ash Wednesday! Wade

​Wade
Written by: Ash Wednesday 

I want someone to wade in the water
( With me, but is really just an Us) 
To see more than just a shredded version 
A condensed sea
A masked version 
I always inappropriately seem to bring my snorkel 
Picture
​Ready to wade into the waters with you 
The blackwater. 
The swamp 
The shitty stuff 
The stuff that nobody wants
I want that.
I want that dishwater 
Grimy fucking grainy residue
The kind you hide from everyone else. 

I want communication to flow like the past few rainwaters 
It's always raining here
And despite the recent air quality

We have never needed rain to start anew like this before
I want to swallow you (again) 
And let things flow like water 
Instead I have never felt more rotter
Picture
​Invasive and will wake you up like cold water 
I am the water 
That you need to drink 
To wake up your last memories
And own up to your karmic mistakes 
I am the water
The blackest within.
Twisting and adapting 
And inserting myself where I am not welcomed in. 

I want someone to wade in the water 
Holding my hand 
So I am not staring back into the abyss alone. 
Quietly silently stalking me like the water. 
Picture
