Sea-Smart
Lion has your tongue
A fool sold you pride
Buyer’s remorse
when eagles scratched three eyes
If you only have one bullet
better make sure that it’s pure silver
If you’re bound to draw your sword
just promise me that you won’t drop it
Tiger has your tell-tale
A spell cast your path
Sweetest reward
when whales do higher math
If you only have one smile
better make sure that it lasts for ages
If you swear at the ocean’s altar
just taste pink salt and breathe fresh air
Behind the Curtains
It’s ok
to lose the plot
sometimes
as long as you remember
which scene you’re in
You can always
regroup offstage
and then return
for the grand finale
Sex and Death
The eyes
roll toward heaven
either way
