I would swim my body skyways
Tangled up in foamy white lace
Sidestroke, backstroke, breaststroke
Just to paint with you
I would drink up soft lakewater
Even swing your tiny daughter
Round and round in circles
Just to live with you
I would let you crack me open
Shiny mussel, light and floating
I still wear the pearls your
Mother gave to you
July forever, clear skies forever
Just you and I, before the war -
Would you sing to me alone again
in summer, at my blue front door?
