today was beautiful
with its wet leaves and mudflaps
and boots scuffed and sweater burdened with that lipstick’s smudge (why didn’t I see it before I put it on?)
and in the pool this morning there was something wondrous in just that
flipturn — it got me feeling a part of that blue, cool water as it made its way around my body like a blue velvet hug
thanks
