New Poetry by John Tustin










The Water's Edge

I see me at the edge of the water:
I am on my haunches,
Taking water into my cupped hands
And watching it flow through them.

I keep doing it, mildly interested.
I am learning nothing,
My hands keep busy,
My mind is filled with trivialities

As I fail to mark the time
And the water fills, falls away,
Fills, falls away.
I see me at the water’s edge.
