POETRY
Swimming in Restaurant Light
Free Verse
Published in
Dec 31, 2020
In evenings still warm waters,
gently swimming through coloured light reflections
emanating from bars and restaurants,
no matter how far, I find myself their pinnacle
while they’re drawn towards my body;
at least that’s how it looks to me.
Swimming to my left,
swimming to my right,
shimmering light following me.
I smile as I lift my hands from the water,
holding them in front of me like a movie hero
or maybe villain commanding all light to me.
I laugh, how daft; it was fun though, let’s do it again tomorrow.
