Her body sunk below the surface
It flung through violent waves
One by one, they crashed against the Earth.
She couldn’t see.
Blinded by an ocean of rage and ache.
No longer equipped to fight the current in this state.
She used to slide under the radar of feisty fishermen
Dodge their illusive nets
But they’ve got her
hook,
line,
and sinker.
Stranded with the dead-eyed flounder,
Her throat constricted and the breathes were shallow.
She was just another fish trapped on a ship of uglies
