Catch and release at Nino Bien

He doesn't dance
he swims, beautiful, liquid
immersed, unconscious
in the swirling music.

He sets the hook with
his water colored eyes,
scoops me up
in the silken net
of his arms.

I slip into the stream
of his consciousness,
breathe his breath,
live a lifetime before we
take one step.

Gently he releases me.
I shiver as I shed
my new grown piscine skin,
gasping on the bank,
longing to be a fish again.
