Mine?

Hordes of tiny fish
Nibble at the strands
Dark marmalade feathers
Undulating seductively

Calling all fish
To belong, be part of
A hidden totality
Under the glazed sunlight
Hazarding the shadow

Squeezing through the murk
Feeding our way in
Imagining light
Believing in everything

Eating the darkness
Mouthing the mass
Chemical collages draping the shape
Of a rusting onion
With nothing to say, but
Enjoy your meal.

Must look for the sunshine in everything even a rusty onion.
