Portuguese man-of-war:
dangling tentacles
appeal like exotic jewelry
to ill-fated fish.
Watching Blue Planet while
she spears her cavatappi.
Gasp!
300 baby sharks in her belly,
a portal pierced by light,
halos around the hammer heads,
hungry spotted whale-sharks.
She wonders out-loud if they’re happy.
Tree of Knowledge
teaches duality,
the illusion of separation
from God
in order to know god.
