Shark Shark

I know I am bait
on the deep dark blue
I paddle and wait
I splash...intentionally
I cut my calve to bleed
a bloody trail
on the currents that carry me
Never a warning given
BAM
I fly
air is my only friend for the moment
as I descend
Splash....stunned.
I know it will return...
shortly..very shortly.
For it has plunged,
deep
to rise ...rise... rise
right underneath.
To finish its meal.
I can't see, I can't see
below into this bloody
dim sea.
But it's there rising fast.
It's there.
Rising to meet
me.
