temptation

it's tempting,
walking out onto
the frozen pond
to see if you can
get to the other
side without it
cracking and you
falling in.
death is a clear
possibility,
or being up to
your neck in
ice water with no
way out.
but it looks so
easy, the sun
high in the blue
sky reflecting
against the mirror
of ice. how
quickly you could
glide and slide
across it. fun.
gently you tap
the edge with your
boot, wondering,
should I.
