Pushed my brain to wrung
Held my breath against a deep inhale
Shallow, he said, just skim the surface of the pool
Naked pale against the sky, flesh pimpled with cold as water drips off my legs, puddling around my feet
I look to the stars: Draco, Cygnus, Hercules in their familiar orbits
am homesick for my hardly remembered prebirth planet of light and shadow
