And maybe we bite
through the nets
or maybe we lay there, corpselike,
ready to fall into death,
(or a dream)
where we are in love and happy.

© Terrin C., Humboldt, IA

The author's comments:
“For no one can anticipate the time of disaster.
Like fish taken in a cruel net,
and like birds caught in a snare,
so mortals are snared at a time of calamity,
when it suddenly falls upon them.”

--Ecclesiastes 9:12
