The Last Beats of a Shark’s Heart (poem, anecdote)

Posted on by tweakuniqueblog
Noontime Nantucket waves, caught a three-foot shark.
Beat its head,
threw it on ice,
threw it in the dark.


Gutting that night found 6 formed fetuses.
Stomach held our lure and half a minnow.
A mother getting food.


Fillets ready with blood on our hands.
Dismembered mess revealed more.
A beating organ pumped almost nothing left.

I took her heart out, she finally gained her death.

Hi, I’m Andrew, but I go by TweakUnique. I looove spreading smiles from cheek to cheek. Daylight moves us as morning passes we all get up off to our tasks with a new tomorrow dividing our time; imagine, would you? Less sorrow this time? That’s my dream and waking habit - follow the steps and then we’ll have it. Place your bets step with science develop plans with confidence. We move together whether we like it or not. Shared air is shared weather, or have you forgot? Trash you dish is trash you’ll eat - what goes around comes around. Gravity. The way we walk is by falling just a little; if you wanna fly high dive into BIG riddles. Practice morally communally in mind. Creativity unravels unrest. It unwinds.
