“Just Breathe”
Flat on the deck
With a hook in my mouth
Begging you to take it out
And to throw me back
What use am I,
Injured and small
Your size overwhelms me,
Frigid and tall
Flip and flop
You laugh and watch
I gasp for breath
An endless wait
You grab my tail
Hold me over the water
You wait too late
I roll upside down
And float belly-up on the water
