longer than a breath
to scatter the sun's reflection
with my body.

New stars burst upon the water
when you pulled me in.

as the lake saw you: cut in half
by the surface, taut legs kicking,
the rest of you sky.

of what you knew I wanted
to see.

When I resurfaced, slick grin,
knowing glance; you pushed me
back under.

I pretended to drown,
then swallowed you whole. — Saeed Jones
