Vibing on Alexis

Sometimes it's important
to fall back in
Let yourself
swim it
Open your gills
spread your fingers and toes
Feel the external pressure
and dive deeper
Hold the face of the water
of the air
of this day that's just so
As if made for us 
puny humans
Sunning & preening
smoothing down
and drying
Against the influence of
autumn's rough beauty
These are the days of survival
and slowly dying things
but amid the wet clumps
there still be shining metals
