circle
endlessly
beneath the
silver surface
and blue glass
of a lilypad pond. their
eyes bulging gills gulping
the tiny bubbles on the
the water weed
they dart under
the pink lilies
like orange
ghosts or
pale
wraiths
they go round
and round in the
pond no bigger than
a golden thimble
longing for the sea
