Return

Me a fish and you my sea
Your waves washed me
Onto the beach
The birds they came
And pecked my chest
My gills got filled with earthly breath
I gasped and flipped
I flopped and squirmed
My fins went limp, my scales all torn
(We go as fast as we are born)

I looked up high
Beyond the wind
And prayed to have
Just one last swim
The sun went dim
The wind did blunder
Your waves create and swept me under
I gasped again but in reverse
Submersed and cursing every bird
My fins are ripped, I cannot swim
I float along your current's whims
I asked you why you pushed me out
To watch me bleed, struck with a knout
You calmed and said
Simply to me
You are my fish, and me your sea
