If you were a fish
You would be a doctor fish
Protected by gorgeous turquoise scales
Opalescence reflecting
Deflecting everyone from your secret world
Within
If you were brown you would
Be smooth and varied and steady
As chocolate
Hardwood
And the mild earth itself
You would remember each footstep
That crossed your path
If you were memory itself
You would be immaculate in your intricacy
Not missing a single detail
But you are trapped in our mortal world
That topples you
My delicate one
The mundane routines
Banal in their irrelevance to you
Earth water and sky
The things that preoccupy you
Yet your skin your feet must walk
And carry you through…
If you were a bird
You would be an owl
You would perch above it all
your all seeing eyes
smiling at me and shrugging at the world.
