Water Is Still

(By Gub, the 2nd of May 2015)

Understand less
Magic
More mystery
Life closes round us fast - enemy troops
Circle
Chide the seconds and the hours fold in
Days sliced
Back
By snap and
Wail..

Where frog
Should spawn

Spring in the bullrushes

There is only the
Short flip
Of the tadpole tail

And then the water is
Still the infant
Gone...
