Conversation over Scotch
Waterborne insects rise
to the surface,
born again
membrane of water, pierced
eternally, or eaten by
fish sensing electrical disturbance,
ensnared, flight and
chase. Honorable intent
against wet moss,
musk of earth.
Fascination understood
as longing, seeking
to know and disrobe
gendered expectations.
A lesson in cycles—
pursue
catch
tighten
flesh, torn
interrupt
release
Repeat
A warm body.
