Midpoint

Hurl the rock over water
Watch it lose energy – your energy-
Arc and break the lamina.

Think of it sinking
Eating metres,
dismissive of the water’s resistance,

To thump the mud bed hard
Like a Saturday drunk
Bruising the water with silt,

While on the water’s surface
The point of puncture
Still oscillates, pulsing rings.

From the centre, choose
one of infinite paths
to the outer edge.
