don't be amazed
if those who fear drowning
at the water's edge
before wading in
claw at your shoulders,
put their unfinished stone carvings
of golems and haunts
in your pockets
and try to trade eyes streaked with fear
like schoolyard marbles with you,
those moments
before the illusion of drowning
you find out that you can swim with weight
and that others
slip down bottom with no depth.
