A mid-afternoon fantasy of sorts…

I’d love for you to come
get numb with me

Okay, maybe not ‘numb’—
but certainly relaxed
and loosened up

melting just enough
to dive into each other’s pools
letting the warm, warm water

lift us up
and carry us over the edge
to where we might float
with abandon

until we become one with the ocean
in which we breathe
together

Water is life
you could be my oxygen
and I yours

Come, take a sip
take a dip
let’s dive in
