Description
slipping into the cool cerulean blue
shedding layers
unwrapping myself in this  u n d e r w a t e r  world
until I am mentally naked

beneath the liquid ceiling
my mask  m    e        l             t                  s  away
sugar      and      spices      and      everything      niceness
and all my pretendings drift apart,                                dissolve
                              and the loudness of the children splashing
                                         coupled with my silence
                                                   is peaceful

but I can break from the world above
for a moment only
and gasping must take a breath from the heavier world of air and gravity and concrete

before submerging once more in this rec centre pool
sinking once more into this chlorine blue kingdom
swimming away from memory
