Breathe

 Sitting on the bottom Floating, feeling each movement, tendril of water touching my skin some buffett me, as legs kick, arms pull others caress from a distance air slowly leaves, smooth, then bubbling up drifting down, more quickly till im sitting as in an arm chair arms out in front of hanging ears pop not he way but now just hear dull cries, splashes but mostly the thud of my heart in my head feeling the grip of the goggles around my eyes  the pull of the calm depth fights the growing panic for air till the edge, lungs bursting then slowly pushing off rising and breaking the surface keeping it slow keep the gasp silent filling lungs chlorine strong at the surface catches my throat biting, acid again ?.....

A minute of a squirrels life

Squirrels Bright eyes, darting  as their tails shake Delicate hands reaching for seed on the floor tail now moving over his back the crack of his voice, not his another warns him, my territory fight suddenly rushing off up a tree in a spiral, ever upwards through the branches, and back down larking over the ground, through the leaves into the next tree chasing and being chased exhausting ignored bu the starlings and the cats

Aspirational

 aspire anticipation,  an arrival, always anticipating asking, about  all around,  assumptions assuming,  arching, acknowledging, asking always attentive ... always,  amazing ask...acknowledge...and

Swimming

 Mind and body Once, they were aligned what the mind thought,  the body did, exceeded what the mind thought and, in a couple of days do it again 2.5 km up and down, following a black line up on the left back on the right monotonous warm up, swim,  warm down collapse shower drive sleep

Feline stealth

 Cat Eyes dart, flitting around, look for anything, something out of place, whilst smoothing silky, glistening feathers,  twitch as they return, brilliant in the sun tail flitters, voice calls 'Caw'  bright eyes, trying to see everything a ripple of movement catches in the breeze,  lifting as one, all of them rise and head away spooked by the movement below hungry eyes, sharp teeth, whiskers flaring, feet silently pad through the grass missed this time

Void

 Mirror Reflection facing me warts and all seeing some more than others knowing its slanted, coloured by life twisted almost the hurt and pain, smothered in time and distance of thought and reason hand waves no response in return smile nothing in reply love desert in return deserted, displaced a stave, misplaced, discordant words unmatched to eyes cold covers warmth  arctic winds whip around pulling at hope casting it to the void

lost

 today I was here today and yesterday and will be tomorrow but when you want me  I won't be I will have gone because my energy left yesterday my soul was destroyed the day before my mind tomorrow
