Beginner Swimmer

A beginner swimmer
You throw me in the water
Let my body kick and hover
In soaking silence
Can hold my breath
Will this be my last one
Arms raised up
to a distorted setting sun

Try to pull the light down
from the sky
And hold it close
To keep me warm
Under soaking silence
I can hear them yell
Perfect form
For a beginner swimmer
