Neon Fish Woman Power
they saw the flight of neon fish woman
dangerously close to self actualization
and they cringed
at her power
and her confidence
She rode her fish with obvious prowess
outshining hundreds of neon fish women
who had been selected before this one
Aurilla had actually chosen herself
challenging the rest of the ocean
None had taken up the gauntlet
She had been glowing greens and blues since childhood
They all knew the prophecy.
There was no sense in trying
It was a battle none could win
So she slashed through the currents,
terrifyingly confident, living her truth
until the end of her days
Her fish Prideboy feeling
confident that he had been
her chosen steed.
