Wolverine Stew: Swimming

clydemg Uncategorized

Sometimes I feel like life is

Breathing in

Water

Breathe it out quick

Get your work done

In lights that feel

Far dimmer than

You remember

Sinking away from the surface

Breathing in

Water

Breathe it out quick

And hope the woods can

Cure every wrongness in your

Head

Face

Aim

Voice

I know the red leaves should

Make me happy

So why am I still

Breathing in

Water

Breathe it out quick

The leaves float

Higher than I can move

My frozen lungs

In a cold lake

I don’t want to

Go back

I don’t want to

Go back

I don’t want to

Breathing in

Water

Breathing in

Water

Breathing in

Hello! My name is Clyde Granzeier, and I am a senior at the University of Michigan majoring in Creative Writing and Literature and minoring in History. This is Wolverine Stew, a weekly poem blog about the strange, stressful, and fun parts of life here in Ann Arbor. Each poem will cover something different, ranging from D&D with friends to the jack-o-lanterns across campus to the trumpet-shaped and puffball mushrooms that pop up in the Arb after it rains. This will basically be a stew of experiences (pun absolutely intended) from my time at U of M, and I hope you enjoy! P.S. No wolverines were harmed in the making of this stew : )

Hey everyone, I hope you all are doing okay and taking time for yourselves, especially as this part of the semester can be really stressful. Writing has always been a way for me to kind of cope with stress, and at a time when things tend to ramp up, I just wanted to put a little reminder to take some time to do whatever helps with your own stress and to never hesitate to reach out if it feels like too much. Take care y’all, the end of the semester will be here before we know it!
