Testimony

By JamesGalvin

You can't step into the same

River even once,

And why would you want to? You can't

Lie down without turning your back

On someone. The sun slips

Like butter in a pan.

The eastern sky arrives

On the back stoop in its dark

Suit. It draws itself up

Full height to present its double

Rainbow like an armful of flowers.

Thank you, they're lovely.

I step outside where the wind

Lifts my hair and it's just

Beginning to rain in the sun,

And the earth silvers like a river

We're in, I swear to God,

And you can't step out of a river

Either. Not once.
