Fish Ladder

Like a snake
it moves.
My poem.

You are not, what you were
in the night, lightning
the grey moon.

I hear, what you
did not say or did-
not think.

Even dark
forebodings, move like red
ants, from the slit eyes.

I cover the faults
via songbird, which
was calling, desperately,
unwaitingly.

    The title drew me in. The poem itself intrigues me, each stanza a puzzle to be opened before moving onto the next. I like this and found the imagery pleasing. I am sure I will return to this again and again.
