Bull

I am the bull
shark, blunt instrument,
silent, up
your stream.

Scudding across
your channel
mouth, I am
homing in.

Through ocean,
brine, brack and
estuarine,
lakes and rivers

flowing fresh,
I'll never stop
my relentless
search

for prey
and sustenance.
I am the apex
hunter, stream-

lined pang of hunger
and i bring not only
death,
but the boundless

will to live
that feeds upon
you, flailing truths
and flesh.
