you are a fish
obsessed with the rainbow when we were young
now you wear those scales on your skin
and shoot flying colors behind you
as you swim through the sky
nothing interrupts your flight
into fields of blue and white
as i watch you glide past our reef

| In Paracas, Peru |
i’m reminded of swishing tails of fantasia fish
us cuddling on couches watching classical tunes
make their way across our imagination
beachside castles also come to mind
memories of summer days spent wading through the waves
squealing and laughing at everything and nothing
plans of moats and palisades
made to protect our fortress of family
each tower a pillar of our faith
in the bonds of blood and the love of each other
we were inseparable, you and i
following each others footsteps
into forests and fields alike
climbing pyramids and haystacks
conquerors of childhood kingdoms
born from the dust kicked back
by our matching

now that rhythm is yours alone
as the world becomes your stage
and i blend into the audience
staring in amazement at who you have become
a glowing presence of every color light
frequencies formed in the shape of a fish
who somehow has learned how to survive
in the water and in the sky
while you are now a creature of the sea and clouds
the earthly acropolis of our younger years still stands strong
and though we no longer share time, space, or season
our heartbeats still sing tunes as one
and the lines made by our smiles
always remember there is nothing worth sharing
like the love that lets us share our name
