Ripples in the water, throw
Salty mist over my toes.
Scales shimmer up my body
My legs becoming one
Delicate arms evaporate into the clouds
As fragile fins unfold like butterflies in their place
My body
Flipping and turning
Into a luminescent crescent moon.
I shiver; scales rippling with the waves beneath
Eyes close; I don’t want to see.
Hearing my wishes
My vision grows dim
Hear my little heart beating
Fast, making music with the wind.
Transformed on the dock, with
Nothing noticed, a fish
Lying on boards, so out of place
In the world. Sun sets and
A fish out of water.
Jumps into the ocean.
~A Ronnquist
