Warm light

and a

Lithe body skimming

.

Ampersand hovering over the water

mysterious seamless apparition

.

No words

No truths

No forgetting

There

.

A wild rash that brings pleasure with every scratch.

No cure

No hope of healing

.

Ampersand hovering over the water

and and and

.

Glide and dive

Collect a pebble:

this moment,

eons ago.

Hold them fast

.
