Not so slammin salmon
So used to being the salmon
watching their peers swim up the creek
through design
that isn’t mine
they try to make me weak
natural disasters
human laughters
the fisherman’s line
”they will be mine”
this Is a typical week
where there are bears
ready to rip and tear
even lightning storms
trying to steal my form
a peaceful tributary I seek.
in the struggles that wain
I search in vain
have to go up the waterfall again
to be that fish
oh I wish
to sprout legs and walk out of this ish
the river entwined
I will leave behind
later. ✌️
