where blind recognition
awaits to destroy
Familiar or foreign

Fish Hawk
...There it is - a dot in the blue.

Waiting to be discovered, to be accepted. I search with my angel,

reach the surface so violently
a small violin sits silently
the bow starts to slide the string
Quite simply

Snakes’ slivering skins smothered in slimy oil of temptation
Immersed inundated intrigued of intricate ill tempered shine
Go forth and multiply your ferocious frolicking fortune...

Quietly patiently they wait
Unaware is the prey that walks through its fields

There’s countless millions everywhere...

his shadow stands

his silver words
