Hi all! This is my first thread! I'd love some honest opinions, critiques, or suggestions on this! Thanks!
In Glass
Tetras fletched of cobalt and ruby
shoot through the water.
A tribe of a hundred poisoned blow darts
curve into a bubbly helix.
An orchid blossoming then molting back,
They come and coalesce through the green
against their fragile plates of glass.
Flowing, swimming,
Swimming and flowing,
through the same stones and green
they’ve seen since their spawn,
tracing the same paths millions of times
as infinite as shore break.
As if quietly lullabied in the current,
tendril, waters of Amazonia,
they follow their reflections.
Little souls in the sound of a rippling filter,
calm me to sleep this night.
I've drifted into sameness
And yet soaked in my own complacency
I've followed, flowed,
Flowed and followed,
Only to awaken and lie awake
in the same unsettled state.
With fingers grazing my damp window,
I wonder in your stubborn grace.
