Baptized Enough. ~ Brian Beatty {Poem}

like to drown

Up to my knees

in cold creek water
is where my journey
and my faith end.

No prayers begin.
No hymns. I know

wading in further
would be foolish.
Swimming is a trick
I never learned.

The same with
holding my breath.

Saturday night
or Sunday morning
despite years of practice
I struggle to float.
