The Lake
Cool and butter-smooth, my limbs slice through the endless blue, I refuse to conform to the neatness of a butterfly stroke, Instead I move through the water like an awkward jellyfish, my face turned to the sun, I can see my body beneath the rippling surface, distorted by the sun's rays and the dark green … Continue reading The Lake

Strangest Whimsy Part 3
