You kept your fish hook out so long that you forgot it was out there, and now it’s the time for you to leave but
I still want you to stay, circling the bait with my fins teasing your taut line; you watch as i bite into petulance greater than infinity (if there was such a thing)
and i claim i went after another: a thinner wire a stronger lead weight, a further cast
but even you see past these big snow globe eyes equidistant as your debonair lures me in as my final gulp of home drags me up to your arms
