When I was little I thought our eyes were ocean When salt ran down my cheeks What else was I to think? There is nature in us all Created with roses in our veins Night in our hair Earth in our skin Seas in our eyes Is what I thought As the tide came in Tugging at my feet and heart Run Run RUN RUN! I know now it is not our eyes But our hearts That are the seas Whirlpools that swallow our time And memories flicker Scalelike, in those depths Ichthys, to be skewered, live or dead And devoured by the people we feared The people we are now Sit at the shores Waiting for an innocent meal To stab and slice and make them whole Swim Swim SWIM SWIM! And keep your head above the water Lest we become the prey It is hunt or be hunted Drown or be drowned Koi or catfish Come closer to find out If you are afraid You are sensible, now Look A tiny koi White and sleek and round with youth It is I And they do not know that ruthlessness Is mercy upon ourselves Hello Goodbye
