#the fish patterned mug my aunt got me for Christmas

you are swimming through the walls of the chapel. I am cracking my knuckles in the quiet house. bubbles in the stained glass, you are breathing in the water. I am twisting my hair round my fingers. I am sitting in the dark. you are gasping and twitching on the floor of the last pew. it starts snowing when I hold my breath. the alter is a glass tank full of salt water. I am crawling up the stairs on bloody knees. there is only so much prayer. there is only so much song.
