Lagoon

I see a lagoon 
and I standing naked 
at the water’s edge 
having shed my clothes 
long before in anticipation 
throwing them off like 
tree boughs shaking off
last nights snowfall or
like a jilted lover
peels off broken promises 
one toe two toe
three toes in foot
calf and thigh wading 
finally under I go
and whatever was out 
there in here is 
no more and I 
become the cool water
