still water


How strangely still
The water is today,
It is not good
For water
To be so still that way.

Langston Hughes

    this is extremely well done - and dark in mood as well as literally. fits well with the Hughes verse - gets the strange stillness and the uneasy feeling too.

      thanks dear. the poem came first, for once. i love its simplicity and sense of... danger, i would say.
      like in a roman noir
