swimming
The water reflects like a mirror
the smell of chlorine burns the summer air
the heat blisters skin.
arctic plunge into deep dark depths
depths that are to dark to absorb light,
to painful,
then a gasp and light
absorbed by heat once again.
laughter and smiles besides the amount of dark that screams below us.
