Storm
turned on
the faucet
and it broke
in my hand
and kept gushing
out water
into the sink
spilling over the side
onto the floor
like it never had before
and then it was up
to my neck
and I swallowed a breath
and held it
and swam out the door
and the water kept rising
and rising and rising
up the walls
from the floor
punching out windows
busting down doors
and I watched
everything I’d saved,
and thought I’d need someday,
carried away
but I was ok
and then I woke up
and it was
today
