I am steady at its thick edge like an olympic diver.
As I bow into the water I think of a poem I read in school 
                        about the pool like a womb.     I do not think it is.
I am silver through its fly-dotted facetry like a cutlassfish.
I am steady in the smallness and mess of my life.
