a fish's love (napowrimo 2021: day two)

swaddled by light, you set the night sky aglow,
when you skim by the waters when you dance
playfully – frolicking like each day might be your
last. you know how precarious life is, and i've
only known the depth of my own ignorance.
i watch you, mouth agape, wanting to materialize
wings to chase after you through a sky brimming
with hummingbirds.
