she is taking the fish

She is taking the fish…

Swimming.

She is taking the boy…

Find his destiny.

She is plunging her fingers

Down his gills.

She is reminding him,

He can still speak.



She is happy living…

Wolf among men.

She is throwing back her hair…

Sticking out her chest.

She considers the lost potential,

And the rank it guarantees her.



Monarch that she is…

She demands of the president

Do not become relevant.

And the little old ladies,

Tell her, her hope is dead.

Not to bruise her,

But nursing deficiency,

Is something they can’t do.



Hiding in the large leaves of her shelter,

She realizes she has only been putting down roots.

And the boy,

Cannot relate with her uncertainty anymore.

She knows,

He will either beat the crap out of her,

Or the crap will suffocate her.
