On the far side of the lake.
There was a single oak tree, turning bright yellow, just the one.
I stared out at it from the platform.
It shifted under my feet as slow waves struck the sides.
I'd spent the morning diving in.
Swimming, climbing out.
And laying in the sun till I was warm enough to dive again.
And I was warm enough and ready now.
My suit was nearly dry.
And the wood planks of the platform.
that pleasantly stung the soles of my feet.
I like to stand tall, hands on hips.
And hook my toes around the very edge of the boards.
I'd done it since I was a kid out here, though the platform had been rebuilt once or twice since then.
The oldest version I could remember, was cobbled together from spare lumber, cut in different lengths and painted with a varnish
It smelled like resin and was a bit sticky on hot days.
That one had a wooden ladder that got slick with algae toward the end of the season and only lasted a year or two.
We must have then decided to make something less ad hoc and more user friendly because the next one was larger.
built with properly sealed planks and an aluminum ladder like you'd find in a swimming pool.
That platform had lasted for years, though it did have a bit of a slope to it, and if you fell asleep close to the low end, you might roll right off into the lake.
