No boatman
No bridge
No hopping
Leap
Air and water below you
Cold fast spray reminding you
that there is something at stake
Hesitation
won’t work here
(You might even want to close your eyes)
No hopping on one foot
No testing for footing
No poking to see what shakes under your weight
No stopping
No time to think — thinking
is the death of leap
Leap
The worst that can happen
is that you’ll drown
but
oh in that moment
before you strike
you’ll know
Dark Matter
