a dream
on a calm day
without thinking
i dive in
a river full of colors
chattering, sighs and laughs
i skim across the surface
avoiding rocks and logs and jumping fish
i know what happens
when i go in
i reach a bridge
and try to walk across
the wood disintegrates
there's nothing there
to hold me up
You've Caught Me Staring
ReplyDeleteThe way you watch me,
posed behind a slender reed
as if you quickly
would disappear if
I looked away for a moment,
like a cheshire cat,
the way you watch me
changes me deep in the pith.
I thank you for that.
