love is a shark
| love is a shark, cruising the deep, |
| slow as a watched pot, |
| rough belly skimming a ground |
| no person has ever stirred love is a shark, drawn to wreckage |
| screamed down from the heavens, |
| ruptured hull spilling into foam |
| all the contents carefully
secured love is a shark, streaking silently up, |
| surface never broken by fin, |
| razor teeth slipping deeply in - |
| just a tug - |
| then the irresistible
downward surge love is a shark, |
| and you are a lone survivor |
| adrift at sea |
