Fisherman's Grave

FISHERMAN'S GRAVE


That's what he wanted.
There is no need
to say:
If you're not careful
a starry shark
will slurp
you 
down 
and in
like krill.


His choice was tide to
starry night skies
baffled
constellations and
veins of timeless
silver
drips
air
and in
like krill.


Surfaces and
liquid plummets,
leaving whirlpools
of what had been.
