Stevie Smith Reflections
Memory has got deeper,
lake deep.
There’s a person yoyoing around in the water –
it’s a younger image of me.
I’m standing on the shore
trying to get his attention.
He rises to the surface:
"What you doing old guy"? He asks.
'I’m trying to save you'!
He smirks, swimming on serenely
toward this moment.
