jellyfish lake





give me that luminescent love

all squirming, mindless affection

like jellyfish in a lake

that cannot sting, it

is not in their nature,

floating beneath the surface

brighter than the sunset of

a thousand Chinese lanterns

every time i kick, they

are there, spinning out into

the water-logged void of centuries

trapped from the ocean

left only to themselves and

one ancient fish

until a stranger climbed a mountain 

and dipped his fins into

the water’s edge
