Who will you be when your seed is in college? Will you be a cobweb at...

Holding onto a rail. I lean over to see my reflection mirrored in the water and small fish swimming in the camouflage of me. I muse whether they are feeding on my thoughts, nibbling on the strands that loosely float my day, making their easy way towards a dark clumped deep in my shadow. I can almost feel their small fins brush the inside of...

A Fish Out of Water is Dead
A fish out of water is dead, unlike the famous expression where it just means uncomfortable. Fish can’t survive without water. Water is survival for fish- a fish out of water is dead. Their small gills fill with oxygen- that is how they breathe in and out. The fishes' food is in water algae- red, green, brown, other fish. A fish out of water...

am I more valid when I am in water I am apt to explore outside my bubble a gurgle of spoken word unknown on my scales the weight of air I swim through the sky the dream scares the girl for me it’s divine ‘fore I reach the pinnacle she’s pinched liquid eyes open to prison of glass ...

The fish comes to the surface of water to observe the earth world of men... Sights what it sees, and feels the danger... For just a moment, it analyzes , observes...concludes it's not solid ground... So he dives back to its aquatic world...!...

Observing the Fish and Writing Poetry
the fish is restless as a risk of knife... It's as a hummingbird in water... kisses a slice of bread as a lover steals a kiss... at sea it hides and only appears at leaps... on the river it is white beams in reflexes of the sun in the day... at night silver scribble under moonlight...!...
