fins dorsal and fins subliminal unable to ultimately fight:
when one bangs one’s brain one must
forever shark
forever flight
forever shark
forever flight
lest the velocity stack collapse in the night
praying for the dolphin’s ability to stop midflight and call it a night
bamboo refused the stand upright
relief in the voices of birds and the bees who no longer alight
and the pull
so glacier
the rot
so quiet
one’s only hope ceasing the stand upright
