ode to poolrooms 1

 

Strange architectural designs. 

Small arched rooms or open spaces 

filled with slides and water blasters. 

Stairs leading from the pool. 

Water so deep, so blue, so you. 

To be there in silence, except 

the sound of water, the peaceful waves. 

You make no sense, but you are perfect. 

I will never understand why you are described 

as scary or liminal. To me, 

you have always felt like home.
