Jo Mykle Hofseth Poet Free verse

The Abyss

I stood in front of the abyss
I moved towards the edge
I looked straight ahead
I didn’t look down 

I looked at myself
A photograph; 50 years ago
My facial expression
I didn’t look down

A big puddle
Brown rubber boots
My facial expression
I didn’t look down

*

I look in the mirror
My facial expression
I look straight ahead
I don’t look down
