Time on the water, sailing, rowing, kayaking, rowing … Or just in the water, paddling, swimming … It’s summer and the best way to cool off is to be in or on water …
ON THE WATER
canoes bob on summer’s lake
trailing grass. tendrils float loose
arms pull paddles through weed
water-boatmen skim opaque surfaces
hands strain downward. catch fronds
while eyes close on thrusting beams
plunge down. down among glimpsed fish
murk stirred by the paddling of ducks
shadows stretch to the swimmer
as sunlight streaks tanned flesh
