“In Doubt”
Brooke Hebert
the water looks cold like ice the combustion from it
like straight out of a freezer and
i want to jump in but i cant and i want to dive in but i
i wont afraid that my fingers will crumble like snow if i do
so i
stay my feet dangling from the pier so close to the numb water
is what i want to say but all i could manage is
the water looks cold
like snow and its almost frozen over maybe we shouldnt jump in
maybe we shouldnt dive in
And my friend walks back to the opposite end of the pier
mumbling about my uncertainty why so indecisive?
why so uncertain mumbling through i even ask myself
why i am so uncertain why im so indecisive
