Free Entry 2, Week 10

Let’s bury the hammer and nail the steel
Door to pratice our balance. Once the pond
overflows the dam we can build a new.
We can sling and lug wood like we were built
for hard labor, though I really rather tea time
or paint-by-number a felt unicorn, but only use
aqua. Florida uses aqua to line the floor of pools.
I know this because I’ve seen them all with my toes.
Once a team of men built a door in the bottom
of a pool. They tired to hammer and nail the door
without removing the water. I waved to them
from above the surface. Turns out they were drowning.
So when take the last bit of aqua to the hoof
of my horse I think of the men nailing the bottom.
