Falldown
Where River Meets Lake- William J. Gibson -
Urge of lightning holds me down
between rolled up river
rocks, smooth, hard, flecked, small, bruised,
never angry
full of old grays
and cold water shock
sure tightening, folding down
from words, edge of my tongue
and your closed lids
a plunge
slippery stones
carving the blue flown water's skin
showing light
how to fumble
where to trip
mark it as an easing down,
ten minutes behind dropped sun, night
sputtering what we don't want to hear
under shore pines
behind your shoulders
my hands rest there
