Where the water suddenly feels
you’re swimming with ghosts.
Chalk mark circles around your body
Cheeks and fingers salty.
Kicking to keep your head above water
Feet back on the pavement
Drop from the bars: shiver up the shin.
Find your way out
To the warm sunny unfolding late afternoon
*weather induced nostalgia*
feel the ache your/my legs.
toward the sun
dip over green high grass.
quick scrolling
over the not so clear
scrap that floats to the top
release pressure
exhale
body drops down under the surface.
Remember the song that played.
*I’m listening to it now
