Gregory Liffick

To a drowning man,
the surface
of the water
above his head
is crystal clear.
A skylight
pane of glass.
A kind of
cathedral window,
through which
permeates the
flickering glow
and promise
of entry
into heaven.
His eyes strain up,
as in a chiarascuro
religious painting,
grasping at rays
of sun, like ropes,
filtering down to
his wet demise.
