Haiku! Haiku! Gesundheit!
When a koi is coy
Secreted stranding seaweed
Conceals cautious koi
Cartilaginous
Splitting water, running hares
Gnathostomata
Ichthyology
Not icky, but not sticky
Investigate carp
Fish founder, flounder
Worms, flies, baited hooks and lines
Sticks, scales, but no whales
Blurb, bubble, blubble
Kissed in brine, aloof, resigned
Friday night feasted
Four crystalline walls
Inhaling air wet with life
Finely floating fins
Dovetailed carpentry
Corporeality bound
Minds beyond, expand.
Eat our consumption
Spicèd, spikèd, balls of red
Hello, my vaccine.
Chronometers tick
Communicate the passage
Time enough for tock.
A catapult purrs
Spring paws to pausing spring
Tails tickled, top tales.
Where are my watches?
Bells sound, but no appointment
(Naps nicely) needed.
Inside holding breath
Puckered, tuckered epiderm
Shaking fears of fear
Thankful for tankful
Superficial aquatic depth
Neighbors wave silence
Food and light above
Things larger than they appear
Breathing my own sweat
