Wild Swimming

Pagan me, wild water’s lover-worshipper,

Taking the cold deep inside me

To feel like an animal-god.

Celebrate in the shivering skin,

Plunging into another nervous dimension,

Where you scoop out revelations

With hands turning into flippers.

There is always this moment’s dithering

On the edge,goosebumped flesh

And brain,asking “Am I crazy?”-then the rush,

The fall, the surrender-a memory of birth.

Life stares through me,dark as a seal’s eye.
