Blue sky
Green trees
Hot air
Green-brown-clear icy water... loud water

One, two, three, four
Caught it after a dozen throws
"YOU CAN DO IT"
A dozen hesitations
"Okay, okay, I'm gonna do it"

I don't remember if I screamed.

"NOW!! NOW!! LET GO!!"

Water hit eardrums... butt hit the bottom... I lived.


I do miss you.
