STONE wall, waters DRAIN 
along cracks, tiny blooms, moss.
It UNDID me to lose you.

More Nostalgia

Entering public pool
locker room is stepping 
back in time. Dank, DIRTY. 
Unchanged since I was a kid, 
then mother, now grandmother.
SLIDE back torn stall curtain, 
careful to AVOID sludge. 
Make our way quickly 
through stale, HUMID air. 
Outside opposite impression. 
Well maintained, open, tidy. 
UNDID our outer layers. 
Plunged without hesitation
into sparkling cool water.
