Deliberately I refrained from
Answering the loaded question
Swiftly with purpose, I spied
A fisher hawk diving to the water
My eyes locked on the
Interrogator's heavy coat buttons
Wind cooled my scalp with easiness
My companions eyes watered under the assault
The fisher hawk struggles
To subdue the quarrelsome fish
I cannot see the barbed hook
And the line stuck in the fishes jaw
A tear rolls down from the eyes I am avoiding
A false sign of weakness
Nonetheless I relish in that tear
As it falls on a brass button

A/N:
Yeah so, personally I think this is one you need to give a moment and let it kinda sit on your bones. It is both abstract and distinct. This poem is such a vivid snapshot from where my reality and that of the mother intersect in dream. I clearly have not had enough calories today.
So did you like it? Do you get it? Really curious as to your thoughts on this one.
Humbly,
