The Plunge Of The Child In The Old River Poem by RIC BASTASA

The Plunge Of The Child In The Old River



i hear the splash
of the old river

i was that little
child diving from

a bent coconut tree
i dream of crocodiles

waiting their mouths
wide open

my body so frail
and pale and

in one flash of
the wink of an eye

the little child was gone
and there came back

the heroic man in me
not magic just being stoic
