jumping off
flying naked:
cerulean blue sea, far below

In bed next to me
my twin puts her
hands over her ears
listening to her heartbeat,
her own breathing--
tells me what she hears

7:55am.

Walking past the swimming pool
48 degrees (Fahrenheit)--
steam rises from heated aqua-blue striped glass:

Wet-headed girl in denim
short-shorts rushes off--
cold-reddened thighs plump as two turnips
