Empty swimming pool.


Ernie Bushmiller - Sluggo Dreams


The depths lie somewhere between white and an ineffective blue,
Drained, but cluttered--Waiting to be raked up.

Neighbor girls who remember the summer
Tattletale on its leafy edge, faces just--

Wheatswollen.

The room they take up is where I was when I saw myself
Admired.

The surface glare broadens like an I surrender flag for the kids

nightly.
