dreamer in Pisces

to swim in waters
unmolested
slick and quick
among silver-flashing others
to look up
and see the sun. . .
an orb all crazy-green
and filtered
by the waves
that topple and fall
in filigree and wash. . .
and underneath
the sun-chequered ceiling
of the silent sea,
to swim in waters
dark and cool. . .
