black ink octopus
strums thru water with hands of a hypnotist
weaving thru fish with beltstrap appendages,
makes quilts and sweaters
from sewn sharkskin
poseidon called out to the tailor
for a coat of sea trout& starfish
he strutted down by broadway after dark
with a pretty mermaid
reflected in his grey sponge eyes,
his coattails swam the night
clouding the past
like black ink octopus
1986 lawrence, ks.
