The Body of Water You Found Me In Will Soon Flood
when the bait
is dropped
i promise you,
i will be the first
to bite
and once your arm
is numb
from reeling me in,
i’ll wait for you
to watch me
being snagged
by your hook
but i won’t make it
to the dock
because although
the water is cold,
i can’t help but
swim away
freely,
leaving you
stunned
at the shore
