I should have sharpened my spear

but it was too late, the flash went off

and the thought had disappeared

you cut the line, the hook

still in that fish, a line of red blood drawn

across its wake. predators blink into the light.

the bow, the break, the stern,
---oephim, seattle, washington
the waves crashing aft and starboard,

the stars barely understood,

and not enough to guide us by,

and there I stood,

still,
---oephim
with mouth opened wide

thanks o, looks great. -c
