Danger: Deep Water

Do not go beyond this point!
There is an undertow.
Black frogmen leap
from lily-pad rafts,
a helicopter darts
and hovers, like a giant
dragonfly dancing
over the marsh.
Men with long poles stir
the shallows, churn
the mud, cast hooked
lines, grapple the depths.
Bodies are pulled
from the water.
A mother and child bundled,
bagged, and put on ice.
Carted away in an ambulance.
The river flows on; swift
currents carry us away,
to home, to work, to play.
There is an undertow.
Do not go beyond this point!

I like this and understand the meaning all too well. I remember once watching a neighbour swimming beside rocks in an undertow. Then I heard the 'dragonflies' and saw a lifeboat.
Sadly, he'd drowned before they could save him . . .
Resonative and thoughtful. Thanks for writing. |
