This world is peopled with swimmers, their feet
splashing, attracting sharks, white lines where
their old swimsuits sat too snug, hugging orange
and neon pool toys to float with--
But this world is peppered with divers, and
diving bells, and descending into that
dark blue they cup their hands around
the faces of the fallen, uncommonly without fear.
With Divers
