Edge At Night

At the edge

I stand while daring the

glass that lies

flat and shiny

before me, a sheet

reflecting the moon that

lies bright in the night

in the woods crippled with

crickets behind me.

Boots that tripped on rocks and

twigs all through the day that I

spent wading through the

branches that snapped back at me

as I broke them.

At least they acknowledged me.

Some of those rocks and stones

now line my pockets.

In the daytime I saw them sparkle.

In the daytime I felt their weight.

Mud looks the same whenever

you look at it.

But I’ve never seen it at the bottom of a lake.

I’ve never seen it at midnight.

Ripples in the dark now as I

take a look

take a peak

take a slip

under.
