Step Poem by Philip Gross

Step

Rating: 3.5


Home, after too long
in hospital, your each
step hesitant
as if the moment was a shallow stream

to be waded (no
way round it), maybe
only inches deep
but too broad, too fast and too loose

with the light,
its quartzy sand-bed
patent, magnified,
yet quivering sideways, about to be gone.
