***spawning promises
deep in the pond with goldfish
the final breakdown***

Riddle me this, said the fish to his friend
wondering plight, so near to the end
What will we be, when it's all said and done?
fertilizer for fields, or lox for bagel or bun?
A brunch for a bear, or dinner for eagles?
bigger hungrier fish, or breakfast, for Sméagol?
His friend pondered, a second or two
I'm up for spawning, how about you?

transparent seeds
nest in winter hollows
the future reflected
in all-knowing eyes
an internal compass buried
in each golden heart
dappled forest light
on the natal stream
memories of salt
ingrained within
the latent lure
of open ocean
our destinies are silver
a return to clear waters
transformed revenants
glassy-eyed and gasping
on the gravel bed
that birthed us

cobalt rain
rides the foothills
mountains conspire
in malevolent
cloud lairs
beneath gray waters
she treads
the warming sea
in constant current
scaled desire
burnished crimson
silver sleek
with ripened need
she lives to die
upstream
