  Catch & Release
  by Michell Bravo
  6/19/11

  Diving and swooning
  swirling and hurling
  tempting, delectable
  Bait
  
  The smallest of samplings
  Just barely a nudge
  and I’m hooked
  As You patiently
  Wait
  
  A stinging, sharp bite
  A swish and a flash
  And suddenly, gasping for
  Air
  
  Put me back! Put me back!
  Back where?
  Back down there!
  Back deep in the
  warmth of my
  Lair
  
  The smell of You
  sticks to my sides
  Your fingerprint
  marked my left eye
  
  And next time I’ll err
  on caution’s side of the port
  For there’s nothing worse
  to be lured
  from the depths
  to the surface
  Caught only for sport
