Standing on the jetty
Getaway boat out of reach
Tried to walk on water
Again
Still not sure how
That works
Storm clouds chuckle
At the sinking fool
Tried to breathe under water
Again
Still not sure how
That works
Anchovies float the body
Back onto the jetty
Sea lions devour them
Teeth tearing, ripping
Thank you
Sinking scales
Remnants of best efforts
Just give me
Some time
I’ll get this right
Just give me
Some time
Recurring Reverie
