Enlivens

Michael Stone

Blissful like a new thing.
Cold but coats snugly. Liberates
skin from fuzz. Enlivens.

Sudden blue sky shocking I
can’t remember. Happy happiest
maybe. Like pig in shit
rolling. Submerge to surface.

And again.

Rocked by swell. Tossed under. Pinch and
my eyes cry salt tears. Wrapped in water
I smile
