The Watcher
Head dunk fast-furious river
exceedingly cold stunningly clear
long swallow
long swallow again
head thrown back
long hair drains down-back
long climb up up up
long view over cliff edge
Watch River Jump!
like eye would if eye could
free-fall down down down
into rainbow-cloud-mist
suddenly eye am fairy-feather
floating
down down down
bathing
surprisingly
in the rainbow-cloud-mist
looking up at the watcher
leaning over the cliff edge
