Bathing in Shallow Water
A Poem
May 9, 2021
Too often I find myself
bathing in shallow water
trying to get clean
but unable to tuck my body
so I just sit down
the tips of my knees out
the sun shining on my face
my heart beating with nature
and the slow movement
of this ubiquitous water
all around me in tiny tides
caressing my obliques
with microsplashes
as life blooms through me
