Toad

It was deliberate  
Fuckin A right  
Like a toad in the water
And his eyes just above  
A blue green mossy sheen of dank  
His eyes  
Two saline pillows of fear  
As the pronging gig draws near  
 
It was  
Deliberate as ..  
the toads sinking in  
The dank of living again  
The mossy displaced wet  
The shape of toads round  
Sinking belly  
 
But sooner the gulp needed  
He will rise  
Again to hide  
In plain sight  

Trying hard to avert bulbous gaze
From a hillbilly’s flashlight
Dead center
Bullfrogs eye
And taste the gigs teeth
Into his middle
