2012 Poems: Landfall



Landfall


It's that first footstep
Out of the boat
Crossing the division,
Water and land.

You stretch out your toes
Feeling for rocks
A tentative seeker
Who scouts for the firm.

Because... you might fall
Your hand grasping, open,
That feeling of dropping,
And then swallowed up.
