Floating

William is at the swimming pool.

He is standing far away from me

In the shallow end,

Ripples sloshing his sides.

And he is watching me

As I cast aside my green towel

And pour myself into the

Safety of the water.

We swim to the middle

To meet each other,

Then lie on our backs

The water supporting our weight.

Sometimes our wrinkled toes touch

Accidentally.

Sometimes on purpose.

And for a moment I think it might be

The happiest I’ve ever been

Until Clair surfaces from the deep end,

Like a serpent from a swamp,

And wipes away my smile

By smirking herself.
