Blue Mirrors

the cool water of pools
stares at me
boldly
 
unblinking
 
like a blue, blue
mirror
 
just waiting to be broken
 
I jump in!
 
Disturbed by
the splash
 
the choppy water
slops hungrily up
the sides.
 
We glorify its defeat
laughing as we swim
yet
 
when we fly out dripping
it magically
 
mends itself.
