There Are Only Eyes Appearing Above The Surface Poem by Gert Strydom

There Are Only Eyes Appearing Above The Surface



There are only eyes appearing above the surface
in the brown water of the river's pool
before they again disappear without a trace.
There are only eyes appearing above the surface
when it notices a prey, are covered by the water-curtain
where the crocodile hides in the depths of the river,
there are only eyes appearing above the surface
in the brown water of the river's pool.
