midas’s golden child  -- poetry by Rhea Brennan


he floats in pools of champagne 

and watches his daughter 

from outside her window as she sleeps. 

her priced eyes were sold for a new chandelier

and her chest is rooted in place, but her skin gleams 

with the warmth of a thousand sons. she doesn't

awaken when beams of warmth dance through her

cracked open window or when screeches

of her father confirm his realization that 

he's always been underwater.
