Late October, and still the sea is warm.
Still the sun shines above us, warming our backs.
Still I bathe in the sea, as you watch
standing on the shore, perfectly still.
2 years since the first swim, more lines on my face;
a body grown older but still
you look at me with that same still look
in your eyes. The same blood gushes through
our veins still, still alive, still together, still here, still.
Still the water flows off my skin, this body you’ve touched
but mine still; still in the water looking up at the sky
thinking how fast time flies and how easily
it stands still.
