Ghost in My Swimming Pool (Free verse) by ObiWonKn

Last night, there was a ghost in my swimming pool When I checked the water levels Scattered ancient recollections, Leaves littering the situation Even more I recognize this apparition From other late night swims And long jumps Off the diving board He thinks he?s funny, Bubbling up from the filters, Staring at me, As if he is someone else Ruby rose color In the whites of my eyes I wake up naked, Without a disguise He came again last night To remind me of you Bizarre and endless Like the pieces of glass Lying on the floor of my swimming pool

Don't understand the "glass" in pool-makes me wonder if suicide is hinted at?
