Stunned, like a Fish

by Tay
 Age Group: Adult

Stunned, like a fish, Mouth gaping wide, pulling in air that Only choked me. But it was worth it. She was worth it. The dappling shade of Spring laden boughs Speckling her brown flesh With splashes of gold, The wet strands of silken night Splayed across her back, her shoulders, The crystalline water caressing her skin As it slipped, so slowly, between breast and naval, Naval and thigh… And her eyes, soft as a doe’s own doleful gaze— She saw me! though I swear, I made not a sound. I could feel her breath against me As she held perfectly still, Marveling at me as I marveled at her, Drowning in her gaze even as I found life. And still, she stood! She did not flee! Emboldened, I reached for her, A dream in morning sunlight, And the light flared brighter And in a moment, I was floating… sinking… floating… Sinking. Earth and leaves in my mouth as I lay there, Stunned, like a fish! Mouth gaping wide, the only sound to reach me, The defiant shriek of she who was my dream As her kin jerked his blade across my scalp And separated me from Spring.
