I will swim
in this lake again
- but not
now –
and I will
go in fast
not toe by
toe
if you have
to swim
in a very
cold lake,
the horizon reassuring,
the green of woods
the sky a pale blue
of never to
return,
no clouds,
but fear to
overcome
plenty -
you should
go in fast
and love
the goose bumps,
every
single one of them,
the shock,
the scream
and then
the fierceness
of having
dared to
go in
without hesitation
