The water is a flat, grey eye.
It won't blink and it won't leave.
I tap the glass of the phone
to find the numbers again.
The blue light spills into the sink.
One part white powder, two parts sour.
I have read this sentence so many times
it should be a part of my skin by now.
But the screen goes black
and the water just sits.
