The Pool

North Berwick tidal pool. Still from Shivery Bites, director Ann Reilly

The pool has been filled in
A yacht park now
But if you know where to look
You can see the holes
The holes in the concrete
The concrete where the diving board was
The diving board from where we jumped
Jumped, screaming
Screaming as we tumbled
Tumbled into the cold
Cold water below

The pool has been filled in
But the memories can’t be buried
