"Night Victim"
pond life
pond life
in the middle of the fight
through the thicket, fogging strife-
the chorus sings with cricket rife and
cattails swish the pestly sight.
pond life
sly life
water lilts ands shimmers bright
by the moon’s incessant light-
while the nighters whisper fright
whimpering with appetite.
pond life
cry life
mighty lies the jawing bite
stealing breath, airing tight in
lifting with the music’s smite-
echoes ring amidst the blight.
pond life
bye life
ebbing
dying
sacrifice
sighing quitter
in the night.
