Swimming Pool

Ripples sparkling in the sun
Chlorinated water streaming over fingers

At the bottom of the pool
Scarlet dress and pink stiletto shoes
Cherry lipstick
Dissolving

They’re pulling up the anchor
Leaving for the shore
This ruthless parasite
Has no home

A beautiful white rainbow
You send me strange symbols to keep my faith alive
I remain in beautiful suspension
You send me angels
