Casting It


by Angela Kubinec


What you said to me floated across our gulf

As it did, it split in soggy ways

Like bread among hungry ducks

Truth came out of those wet scraps

It was a little bug that hovered there

Moving on the surface under its own speed

Amazing and frightening to us both

We watched it on our knees, grubby children

Waiting to see what would happen next
