    Determined by the Underside

     

    by Kathleen Hellen

    ​

    ​

    Shushing in the grass bed.

    The key thrown back.

    The spawning stock declining.

     

    What solid things to cling to?

    A cuttlefish right down the middle splits.

    A female market squid will flash fake testes.

    I might have been

     

    the softer-she, the red-tipped apron. Spongy.

    Legal size for cannibals.

     

    Too soon to tell if I will paint my fingernails.

    It might be that the wind is the direction.
