bubbles

"I am floating in silence

and breaking it up

with the sound of my breath.

Above me there is nothing

but shimmery light

the place where I've come from

and will go back when I'm done here.

I am diving.

I am a scuba diver.

I am going deeper past

the wrinkled rocks and dark seaweeds

towards a deep blueness where

a school of silver fish wait.

As I swim through the water

bubbles burst from me,

wobbling like little jelly fish

as they rise"
