THE DEPTH


Parallel to our path
the tracks ran along
the field full of summer
promising with cool breezes

The locomotive sounded its warning
offering no passage 
with speed and heat
there was no return

Cut off
standing on the bank
the crystal sky blue water
stretched into the future

Seeing the sandy bottom
not knowing the depth
assessing our progress 
could the distance be swum

Diving in
would there be shallows for resting
I turned to see
did you follow
