A fish came by

Standing upside down on one finger 

A fish came by:

“Dancing in the moonlight, yeah?”

Pictures by Valadimir Kush

I wasn’t dancing

This was a new perspective!

Upside down in water equals dancing in the moonlight!

I wish I could chew gum,

Bubbles in the water! Bubble gum

I was going nowhere

Water was still hanging heavy

Still breathing

Anxious to find a rope

Dance Under Moonlight - by Vladimir Kush

Dancing in the moonlight

I formed a shape

A flower!

 tied myself tight to that rope

To the empty nothing

kept that dance

Flew over the shadow that screamed free me

A lobster cut the transparent rope

I was on top, water beneath

Sunlight on my skin held me warm

If I could only understand the sun

The pain will go away

I’m no longer empty

 have a purpose

warm

Can’t hear anything

No one is screaming

Love is floating

 Dancing in my memory

I make a turn

wake up

Something is standing

Upside down in the water

A fish comes by……
