camp pool slide
the kids line up
to corkscrew its length
just enough water
to keep the clip up
just enough depth
to make entry exciting
the temp’s just right
to orbit around
endlessly dripping giggles
Tag: swimming
blank calendar
blank calendar
a wheel of dolphins
corkscrews through
hammered tin wave
later
we take in
a submerged sunset
watery fire paints
even our limbs
good days happen
when nothing’s
on the books
Marco Polo
Marco Polo
in the blue cold of pool
we split his name in half
echo discovery
find innocent contact
bubbling with laughter
even as we’re trapped
