Uncertain

I look down from seventh floor window
to see
Red and Assiniboine coming together
the forks
rising water threatens to touch bridge beams
ice chunks speed along in the current

what if ice jams cause flash flood?
what if both rivers crest at the same time?
what if we have a big storm at the wrong time?

I turn around in my hospital robe
and shuffle back to my room
