Diving

Rosa can't decide which moment is her favourite. Maybe the joy of diving is falling in love with each of them again every time she leaps:

  1. The timeless instant of stillness right after jumping — the void between her feeble attempt to defeat gravity and the start of…

  2. The fall, all-encompassing weightlessness; complete freedom and utter submission blurring into one

  3. That total envelopment, her streamlined form needling beneath the waves, immemorable and shocking.

Giddy, Rosa steps forwards, and takes a breath.
