swimmer, together

Breath held herself tight as we

Jumped into the flow.

She is in love with the sky, though

She often finds herself yearning for the depths

And we dove right in.

dispite being divorced from her sky world
we find momentary peace as
I find a rock to hold on to as

She tugs this body upwards by his lungs.
herself fragmented in bubbles, racing

Towards the surface, following herself

She leaves. and

I chase her – eventually - falling back

Into the sky world with open mouth,

Nose. Breath is waiting, her patient warmth

At home in my lungs

Playing. Breath and breeze, flirting

Between shade and sunlight, romancing

With rain, love making as ocean’s spray

I’ve found her in all these places, resting

And running, swimming or sitting.

She takes care of me too, when I forget.

See, she’s not apart from me, she’s a part of me

Resting is when she comes into me so deeply as

Stars sing shadows on this face, eyes dancing

Back and forth in time with

Breath coming, leaving, coming, leaving

Flooding through me like spring rivers

Spilling home into ocean

Flooding through me like spring rivers

Spilling home into sky

Breath,

She holds herself tightly when we go

Swimming.
