Marlin Talisman

My little marlin bones

share my connection to the sea.

Others may not think much of that,

but they are bound to me.

One day someone killed a spearfish

just for fun.

Two small backbones drifted to a bay,

a bay where my soulbinding had begun.

The swiftest fish is my animal,

the one who gives me mirth.

The lightning fast predator,

who chose me at birth.
