A fish fell in love with a bird one day. What was his reason I could not say. The bird flew down its reflection to see, the fish jumped high and cried "Marry me." The bird simply laughed and flew away, "Birds marry birds!" was all she'd say. But while she flew nothing else came to mind, save the face of the fish she was leaving behind. No other had spoken to her such words of love, not the swiftest falcon nor the sweetest dove. To the beauty of his fins a bird could not compare, or to the strength of his muscles as he lept through the air. Poetry by Lycus #quixoticquagmires
