A Crossing

downward glance
upon glassy water
stopped, clear
green plants and murky brown chocolate
mud settled
a landscape of unmoving certainty

bottom so close
yet
concealing many feet
between solid ground
and the weightlessness of a perch
above the still water

stuck
motionless
walk this bridge
for once covering
this face
no distinction between rapids and
calm
faithless walk
the drowning will
commence
