The underside of water

by Hana Wilde

The light on the underside of water
The skin of the water seen from under

Kick down into the belly of the water
Look up, look at the skin of the water
Bright skin, the skin of the water
Kick now, you’re in the belly of the water

Salt lips inside the belly of the water
Soft beat under the skin of the water
She’s moving in the belly of the water
Rise up and through the skin of the water
