Fish

Addressing the observer.

I am not going to submit 

to being recognized

or theorized,

but I will slow

here before you

somewhere between

what you see and think,

dressed in a fabric

you dreamed once

––when? about something

you strained to know.

You never knew 

it, or me. But I

am here. And

you–––?

I keep watch and listen, mostly in dark places.
