The Swimmer


Lying in my bed unkempt
with crumpled
slept-on pillows
sheets strewn
and twisted
as the swimmer's
colloid hair
spilled atop the twighlight shore.
Exhaustion ebbs away
as breath alone
feigns motion. Then . . .
The oft recurring thought
comes circling
as a gull:
I must arise once more
and stem the sea
another
day.
