Something’s Fishy

 

Crashing into the wrecking ball of whitecap force the eagle finds itself in a quagmire

Deep into the water the salmon dives hoping to elude capture

Finding instead lure sharp it hooks into the skin deeply

Leaving gash beyond repair

Waking into release of drowning taken promises of riding the waves

Over the tides ebbing free from tossing tides and nearing turmoil spawning nevermore

Drowning is avoided narily

Gasping for air once again she realizes she nearly choked on hook of line and sinker

Disappearing into the froth of the river taken down to the crash of shore against skin and stone

With golden sands as far as the eye can see

Freedom from the shackles of lured anchor hearing the seashell’s siren song

Poseidon sets the rules with wielding triton and pricks of destiny letting this one get away
