deeper out

Sandy river oasis stone boulders
Families littered pleasantly along or in
The water, cool enough from mountain
Birth, glacial cradle rushes
From thin air caves
To nourish fernfilled woods
Falafel and romaine salad picnic
Time to.kiss the silty bottom
Feet clear step deeper out
Deeper out colder until
Only swimming keeps head above, among
Air breathing lip animals
