(or “Chicken-of-the-Sea”)
caught in the roil
of a reckoning watch
a ragamuffin remnant
of chaotic creation
a tatterdemalion shamble
through fluid
subconscious
a spring chicken
marching with
his death wish
in a can of fish
down to the shore
for boiling
beyond
our earthly shine
serf upon surf
from trusted turf
to crash & spray
ichor,
brine:
a hook for a look
is long in the tooth
and poor in store
is meat for more
(line)
a wattle of faith
through rotating blades
all caught in the eye
of a roiling watch
