Potential Energy

Zoe Davis

What if     I didn’t make it today   soul in traction

living off the lie a shark will die        if it stops

swimming     against the tide

of popular opinion

it is my finger    taming water     

I form blessings        and raise a curse

watching for Armageddon in a teacup

an unnatural fate

paddling with a teaspoon 

circling eternally.
