Here our children, spawned like little fishes cloudy veils floating down on jelly eggs Your words washed over my heart like kisses And brought forth little black squiggles with legs That wrap around the lines to form sonnets And lap around the pages to spill books Shining where we have failed to be honest Swimming sideways with their tails, curves and hooks Wiggling black pollywogs on the pages Which soon transform to thoughts and hop away In the stream they develop in stages Collective unconsciousness into waves Oh Poseidon, king o'er all the deep seas If you see these poems, know that I loved thee.
