Sibling Watching (early 1990's)

siblings
on the crest of a whitened hill
in heart of winter lake is hard

blades cut the snow gaining momentum
sibling watching
sibling sledding
reaches
the flattened cement lake
burst of speed sled across crosses yards away from shore

weight cannot be held lake is horribly soft
sibling watching
sibling submerged
sibling
runs
slips rubber boots on hardened water do not grip

wet wool mitten reaches for life
sibling scrambles sliding
sopping mitten sinks
sibling watching
