Dos Peces

I.
Freedom's pink
     Gets into the waves,
The distant cliffs,
     The hotels.
At sunset the natives
     Throw their nets.
There are fish when it's dark enough
     For no one to see.

II.
The fish play with the children
     Like before
When they were their grandparents
     Yet it seems new
The way they move their phosphorescence closer
     And swerve away
As fingers reach, but the name the nino gives him,
     Desvanese, is new.
