#1653 (#316)

in the swimming hall

alone once more means i can

both read and write this

#1616 (#283)

in the swimming hall

warmth wraps me in a blanket

sends me off to sleep

#1615 (#282)

in the swimming hall

heat exhaustion looks at me

hopes i will look back

#1445 (#137)

in the swimming hall

it doesn't seem so horribly hot

in shorts and t-shirt 

#1444 (#136)

in the swimming hall

back to reading the kindle

in the swimming hall 

trying to treat my ailments 

with the extreme heat

#1386 (#084)

in the swimming hall

social awkwardness sends me

to sit far away

#1353 (#056)

in the swimming hall

first week sat alone for some

time but i'm reading

#1352 (#055)

in the swimming hall

first week sat alone for some

in the swimming hall

Nelly sings from the speakers

and is one count right

#1308 (#013)

in the swimming hall

the gentle and the frantic

smooth grace and big waves

#1037

in the swimming hall

surprised to still be in gloom

when half way through June

#956 (sunday morrning)

in the swimming hall

seats that remind me of church

my boy is now god
