before this moon becomes the sun

reflect upon .moon waters.calm.still.
dreamfish slaptailing sandbars
starfish sprinkling skylines.cloudfish ocean sky.
rainfish splotching windshields.windfish sailing yachts
nightfish tidal lights.dayfish incoming light.
soon Empires will shadow ,crack and fall
another cycle round one sun.cannot return
even dreams burn.even memories Polaroid.
youfish swimming upstream.mefish watching television.
midnightfish hunting moons.morningfish awaiting dawn.
surrealists gather in bent boats.curled canoes.bright flower petals
ask that artfish and peacefish be allowed inn
Room on this Arkfish wishes all of every to survive
Particle fish filleted by harsh glare Light
(safer in shadows(fish bite!) Fisherpersons gather nets of night
shred in waters of delight/let moonfish escape
like dolphins,whales,turtles -our ancestor fish
mass graves.Tinned and canned and cut up like moonlight.
Eye of fish as dull as classroom.Winged,finned,freedoms-gone!
Ghostfish seek their family memories in ponds of farmedfish.
Wild extinct.Labels lie!If we were wilde-
would we ever be caught in rhyme?
