the water came for us one night.
it came from nowhere and everywhere, and
doused the fires beside us in our beds
before we could open our mouths
to scream.

we may be strangers, but
we are what remains, 
kindling flames cradled against our chests,
alone together
on the water.

we cannot fight the water,
but we can learn to live with it.

how we learned to fill our lungs with salt is about moving forward while looking behind. it is about loss, grief, found family, healing, and growth in the face of the inevitable.

it was created as a part of the up all night jam with off the table and superqueero.

for each copy of how we learned to fill our lungs with salt purchased, another community copy will be added to the pool.
