Some world. No start to it but

Some world. No start to it but

daylight, no stop at dusk. I took

a kayak closer, waterweeds, whatever

they’re called in a pond, rushes

from a picture-book bible. The frog’s

loud loose thumped

a cello once—that’s not right—

then a second time.

Until I showed up. I swear. I was nothing

to that depth. Only blackbirds

kept their hoarse usual. A bloody shard

pinned each wing to flight.

He stared on top of my stare. That frog

was a monster. I don’t know

how long. Sit still in a boat and you

swallow yourself whole.
