"Creed"

 

Creed

 

I believe in frogs

   their ins and outs     

leaps to bounds     

   how they splay—

 

set a spray

   of watery beads

break surface

   plop soundly—

 

only idea stays

   visible invisible

spoken through

   the droplets—

  

this comfort with

   one’s element

slippery as it is, easy

   to slip away entirely—
