High Diver By Robert Francis How deep is his duplicity who in a flash Passes from resting bird to flying bird to fish,
Who momentarily is sculpture, then all motion, Speed and Splash, then climbs again to contemplation .
He is the archer who himself is bow and arrow. He is the upper-under-world commuting hero.
His downward going has the air of sacrifice To some dark seaweed-bearded seagod face to face.
Or goddess. Rippling and responsive lies the water For him to contemplate, then powerfully to enter.
