On shore another scrimmage will commence for space and a clear path forward. Some fish stay in the water and become monsters of the deep, to be hauled out of their element by someone who has no idea what kind of dreamflesh has been caught in his seine.
Thanks for commenting and reading Denis. Your perspective is always very insightful and philosophical. 'Another scrimmage will commence for space and a clear path forward' takes the poem to its next adventure. You should put those words in one of your poem! Thanks again.
