Caught Undertow



While casual, coral reef cruising, marlin flygirl fishing,
my dinghy eyes got capsized 
into the shimmy-ing belly of a barracuda
Crustacean curiosity got sent on an abdominal mission

My dinghy eyes got capsized ... 
chum dummy fell overboard into the deep end
Lost in an ocean of pulse infatuation,
sponge orbitals didn’t realize

Into the shimmy-ing belly of a barracuda,
blubbering thoughts have taken infirm control of me
Spawn desires swimming upstream,
chasing a she-devil in a triangle Bermuda

Crustacean curiosity got sent on an abdominal mission,
found out the aorta pearl was inside a zircon clam
Mystery lust algae dragged my ego undertow ...
While casual, coral reef cruising, marlin flygirl fishing

Amazing write, my friend. Takes a while to 'fathom' this one and to 'plumb its depths.' :) gw
