Falling slowly into blue, clear skies. The sun ripped from its cloud and fogged, muddy in a crystal pool
Blink
Feel full of heavy wet thoughts, feel full of bright light from the world away.
Blink
Feel immersed, scattered and diffused, splashing and flailing in less than gravity, in more than pressure, in one, In a million.
Eyes close
Hear them, swelling and screaming, answering to the ripple now the wave, answering to the wave and the goliath through an infinite amount of david.
Hear the finite amount of me, the muffled muscles using fingertips to scrape the edge of the horizon, piercing to the other end of that universe of light, that universe of breath and that universe of different molecules.
Float and Blink
Open eyes paint a portrait of panic, of perfect balance and finger prints sliding into the deep end.

Open Eyes
And find myself in the deepest end, remembering how small I am now, tiny 4 foot body in even tinier 10 foot pool.
Gliding slowly, watching sunlight enter and energize chlorinated molecules of H2O, rays of broad bright becoming bland broken bits.

Failing myself, body gives in to the heavy wet, I feel endless in the wave between the surface and the floor,
Endless in the breath caught between tight lips and shriveling lungs.

And infinite again, I feel endless in the water, endless between my lungs and poison prison water cells.

Breath in the darkening sunlight,
The deafening Goliath,
Created by a million little bits of water.

And sunlight rises again, over the horizon of the 10 foot pool. Molecules sliding from my body, particles separating from my skin. Ejecting from my lungs.

A new David standing above me, the Goliath unflinching near me.
Breathing slowly into clear, blue skies.
