"Bodyboarders in Rio Vista Park, San Marcos River" by Charlie Llewellin.
The conditions are right for a leap. I’m saturated, can’t absorb much more, and I’ve got no runneled karsts to sluice the extra off into some aquifer. It doesn’t matter, though. Rain keeps coming, sheeting down the caliche under my skin, scouring fossils and calcite crystals bare: lightning glimpses of my ancient, lime-white corruscations as I'm tossed downstream, maytagged, pinned in the flood.
