First Reactions After Falling Through the Ice |
I knew it was far too late to walk out on the lake then |
Halfway to the middle thawed I wasn’t doing all that great |
Had I cut my hair short? |
Had I grown my beard out long? |
Had I gone to school or??? |
Why do all my plans fall through? |
There’s a leak in the basement |
Stupid permanent estrangement |
Casement windows need glazing |
Hinges and arms need be replaced |
All the way at the edge I said I think |
That we should head back |
What if now the ice cracked? |
Think I felt it bend |
We took opposite steps |
Tried to even the stress |
Picked a safe direction but |
You never know the way the ice thins |
Half-asleep in dreams where |
Ceilings start collapsing |
Free fall through the roof beams |
Get startled back awake |
Before you hit the pavement |
Floor of the foundation |
Water in the basement |
Bodies in the lake |
Don’t panic I could hear you saying as I fell through |
Blackness complete down waiting till my feet touched ground |
At the bottom they finally did |
First reaction was this is it |
Next thought was just stay calm kick up |
And save your phone |
Because I wanted to tell you |
Because I thought you should know |
Because I thought it might scare you |
To see me under the ice |
Make you remember you cared for me |
What would you do if I died? |
Would you fly out for my funeral? |
Get too drunk at my wake? |
Would you make a scene then? |
Climb in and try to resuscitate me? |
I was on the ice and I was underwater |
I was getting pulled out, I was in my wet clothes |
Stumble on the walk back, someone stoked the fire at camp |
I was by the flames trying to get my body warm |
I was standing naked checking to see if my phone still worked |
I will cut my hair short |
Trust me, I will |
I will let my beard go |
Trust me, I will |
I will never tempt fate |
Not once, I swear |
I will never trust ice |
I will never trust a thing |
