Wetland Eco-Body

Dive, diving at ditch edge

through featherfoil and dropwort 

eight-legged swimmer,

quicksilver glimmer

of air-pocket hairs,

mercury wet.

Silk-spun underwater

hollow stem to hollow stem

air-bubble breath

of oxygen web.

A collaborative project set on the Pevensey Levels as part of WaterWeek 2020: http://www.elephantpress.co.uk/Wetland-Eco-Body
