Aquarius
Aquatic spirits have spawned us.
Sprats and minnow
are now skin and bone,
krill and whale our flesh.
A progenitor who knows
how to hide a fish in a fish,
also hides the head from the tail,
the beginning from the end.
That one has left us
to swim in a scallop shell
until heaven-sent oceans
gives up their secrets.
