William Matthews - Skin Diving
Work rating: Low

The snorkel is the easiest woodwind. 
Two notes in the chalumeau: 
rising and falling. 
Here is the skin of sleep, 
the skin of reading, surfaces 

inseparable from depths. 
How far does the light go down? 
Wouldn`t we like to know. 
I love this exact and calm 
suspense, the way the spirit is said 

to hover above a deathbed, 
curious and tender as it is 
detached, a cloud on the water, 
a cloud in the sky, 
as if desire were already 

memory. Just as a diction 
predicts what you might say 
next, an emotion loves its chums. 
But here, in poise and in hard thought, 
I look down to find myself happy.
