Lungs

I gasp

My mouth reaching air

For a moment

Only a moment

Before water rushes in

Filling my cheeks

Gushing down my throat

Bubbling through my lips

Like blood

Like blood

Like blood

Only less...gelatinous

Less taste

More salt

More burn as it infiltrates

And pours into my lungs

Replacing oxygen

With salt

Grief resides

In the lungs
