eels

Let’s be eels, Let slip into their hands, Let’s be eels, Let’s explore the rivers Before they catch us, They’re waiting for us downstream, To hurt us, We are eels, We know better than they, The taste of springs and tides, We are eels, We have answers Which they don’t care, Slide, slip, reach the sea. Soyons des anguilles, Glissons-leur entre les mains, Soyons des anguilles, Explorons les rivières Avant qu’ils nous attrapent, Ils nous attendent en aval, Pour nous faire du mal, Nous sommes es anguilles, Nous connaissons mieux qu’eux, Le gout des sources et des marées, Nous sommes des anguilles, Nous avons des réponses Dont ils ne veulent pas, Glissons, glissons, rejoignons la mer.

'Be as slippery as an eel 'is a phrase we often hear. Enjoyed your poem dear Yaan on the slippery eel.Men are their enemies. Before they catch them, let them explore the rivers
