I held my breath and listened,
knowing that one false move
and the music would cease. My body
floated just under the surface
which was smooth like glass
or frozen oil slick.
Air escaped my lungs
and pushed me down; the silver spheres
broke the still sky, shattering
its image across the pool's perimeter.
Slowly, the sound of a heartbeat
began to wave through the silence,
filling my lungs and my fingertips.
