Swamp Swimmer
I came to that point of thick mud.
Looking down, I nodded.
My ankles drenched in frowns
Shadows that flood
One flower did bud.
A sigh I did not recognize
Unfamiliar with its form
Stagnant in the air
I identify
The chilled vapor
That has held me still in melancholy dole.
Where is the muck that I once possessed?
I think this strange—
A black tar upon my hands.
Where is the law against
Reaching for flaw?
