I'm looking for my toes.
The reflection's first,
then the dirt,
some sticks,
some bugs,
hairy legs,
empty pockets,
stains, frays, fades,
a mystery scar, hard
worked wrinkled hands.
I see everything from here,
to the land across the water,
the life before me and behind,
the cosmic landslides that led
us here alone to this spot,
staring at my hands,
looking for my toes.
