...I wish this poem was about a penguin, but
 

The air melts
  as he loses his wings.

Gills appear.
Although no one notices
that nothing, is nothing.

...and together with the tide of man he takes and brings forth memories.

There is a freedom that is born
when a fish forces suicide
upon himself

by jumping out of his tank
  as he falls from the sky.

Quietude
(buried next to emily lies cloe the fish)
 
all that's left are eyes lashing
through words tangled in pages
trapped between book covers
 
titles long forgotten
to a fin
 
yes, 'a freedom is born'
. . . to others, to some
a notion
of what could have been
. . . an equivocal dream
 
after air becomes water
. . . silence.
