Arms out
Stretched to pain
Feet braced
Weight on palms
Eyes shut tight
Hands together
Speared at end
Body arced
Legs long
Being taunt and tight
Slightly swaying
Cold air crashes
Water divides
Limbs cutting
Pushing back
Flailing about
Catching breath
Swallowing, burning, aching
Up, down, up again
Surface breaks
Prisoner no more
Right, left
Right, left
Right
Reachs, pulls
Up ya' go
Out no longer in
Walking away
Goal accomplished
