Stuck in the endless dream
Staring into the empty stream
nonexistent sparkles of fish below
their colors do your eyes bestow
Their eyes empty and fins transparent
Their bodies bright and their spirit apparent
Her shadow falls upon the river bed
the fish gather as her fingers spread
The strike comes down hard and the fish surge
I want to fight back, but I resist the urge
the fish swarm my body as I fall
No need to put it off, or stall
The fish get bigger as more blows follow
I feel their teeth dig, rip, and swallow
The anger and hate on her is clear as crystal
the dusk sky is turning dark and dismal
Her fist comes closer, turning my world black
several jaws clench down, and I hear a crack
When I come to, the river's dry as bone
I'm left to continue my journey, lost and alone
