Pond Life

[mirrormist]

Gathered

at the arse

of the

big fish

they take

their communion.

Heads bowed

eyes closed

with

tongues out

they taste

the daily bread.

Subtly

manoeuvring

for position

they build

barriers

around the pond.

Indulging

in rituals

of defining,

throwing stones

and

blowing kisses.
