Just another from 2003 for the sake of sharing. Comments, critique, whatever you like. Thanks for reading :]
Fearful Wading
My bare legs
walk shin-deep
in murky water
The bottom feels
soft and rippled;
I crush a desert
No menace came
but I had a fear
of oil-black scales,
a vision of
a weightless sliver,
eyes that sought my heels
Dare I intrude,
his waters disturb
between the bulkheads?
From a dark hole
I prayed not
to awaken him.
