The Swim
Harvest of spring and midnight swims
in snakeskin
she breaks star ripples in a pool
of moon fungus water
Water fingers caress her body
amniotic birthing
water thru spread fingers
water thru splayed toes
the toes of childhood
Water fingers caress her body
amniotic birthing
water thru spread fingers
water thru splayed toes
the toes of childhood
like frogs, full breast stroke
thigh frog-kick shatters moon, star reflections
float in the water, breathing sea mammals
thigh frog-kick shatters moon, star reflections
float in the water, breathing sea mammals
we exhale into the water
we are water, we are water
She swims in liquid night wrapped around her body
She swims in liquid night wrapped around her body
thousands of tongues lick and lash her
she stands by the pool
cement slurps up the water that streams down
cement slurps up the water that streams down
her curve of spine, belly, nipples erect
the water licks down
down
