When I was on the swimming beach
on Tuesday, couple of boys in late teens
were doing simple somersaults
from the low laying pier in the water,
and I was thinking how in my childhood
there used to be a proper springboard
there, you could jump from two meters
into the dark water, and I never dared.
I just watched as the water swallowed
others, usually a bit older kids, perhaps
grandparents of those boys. Just like
time swallows us in its dark waters.
