Blue Stream
August 6, 2021
Blue stream—
When I crash from the pool deck into water
I am a dream closing in over my own head.
I feel like a ripe strawberry
I feel like a thousand minnows
I feel like a Persian carpet.
Took me so long to find out
I had to lie back lie down.
Took me this long to find out
Trust the water and I won’t drown.
Like the dashing swim of the ancient turtle
I give myself to the water
Every jump, every breath, every hurdle.
