you can swim.
but you wont get there.
you can try.
but you wont reach it.
my hands will turn,
and
stroke
and hit,
and
my legs- my legs
will pound like ribbons,
stretching out-
unending.
and then it will end,
no longer will I go.
and bone will turn to thread
and muscle to
heat.
and from the fatigue i will find it
reach it.
every bone a body, every muscle
a life
and everything....
everything water.
water stroking through water
combing
and
twining
to
one
water so intense
in
water so sleek-
so aware of every stroke
every turn
and every hit.
you can try.
but you can never stay
there.
