Aqualung

Gathering under the sky.
Breathing beneath fluid.
A collection of change.
The developing vesicle.

To speak the unspoken.
Detached from foundation.
The ascending bubble.
A sting of embarrassment.

Defying archaic law,
Laceration behind glass eyes,
Arcane: their questions,
As the sun burns.

Crucified beneath doting wheels.
A twist in the tale.
Quieten the loosened tongue,
A foreseeable drop in the ocean.
