Bull Shark

What you need to know:
I am a bull shark.
What you need to feel:
dread (and only dread),
when my jaw muscles
twitch, crack turtle shells.
What I need to know:
Why am I afraid of you?

Old Me

Why must we grow old
Why has fear taken hold
The dread of timeless loss
My searching eyes look
Just like the old me
The curly haired little boy
Dazed by the tiptoes of beauty
That took refuge in his innocence
And bestowed upon his fleeting being
A longing sense
