Eyes open.
Sunshine painting
Shifting mazes on your quivering body.
Glistening drops sticking to your
Freckled nose and
Shaking loose from your lips.
Cheeks puff.
The silence below the surface
Revealing less than I would like:
Just a clammy silence,
Persistently filling my ears.
Your legs floating,
Unattached to your drying torso above.
Arms paddle.
Pushing down, down, down.
The immense pressure
Replacing the silence,
Ears exploding.
Chest exploding.
Laughter exploding
Into a cloud of metallic bubbles.
Eyes open.
Smiles splitting our faces into two.
Sun splattering freckles on
Our shoulders.
Floating awkwardly in the water.
Dewy cheeks
Pressing together.
Growing too tired to support
Our own weight.
Creating whirlpools in the
New summer heat.
Dancing, embracing it.
Embracing each other.
In a league of our own.
Unexplainable giggles
Melting all the forlorn faces around.
And it's just us.
And it's just right.
