phantom

all the sense and sensibility
makes me
wonder what
it’s all for

you reach out
from darkness
from the void
of a crowded sea floor

you come up
for air, breathe
breath to me
giving me words and delicacy

silly little fish
floating out here
killer whale
pretending diamonds

when you’re just glitter
in the sun
temporary glimpse of a man
sparkle for a bit of fun
