For the shark
A verse wanton of many an eternity
A story told-
weak, strong, slumbering, bold-
A man
A shark
Elusive concubine of the dark-
Adorer of the ancient
devastating ocean,
Scrutinizing humans repel your potion-
Alone-
You
and your lover swims away
In her world of watery abyss
you join
your heart-
she will never betray.
Inspired by Isidor Ducasse (Comte De Lautreamont).
