I put my hope on
A green streetlight
That led me over
The Wabash River

From the bridge
I could see the
Tracks of deer
That had made it
Across the frozen water

They had not been halted
By the flashing red light
That kept me captive
On the other side

Perhaps I would follow suit
And see if the icy waters
Could hold my own weight

If the ice cracked

If the ice held

It wouldn’t matter

Either way
I’d see what lays beyond
This blasted stoplight
