Octopus Song

All alone and in my brain
Rorschach testing on my own ink stains
Plankton glows and on my toes I dance

Too many arms not enough legs
The ray she stings but leaves the hurt unsaid
Maybe I should find myself new friends

Blending in with colors was always my forté
But when the coast is clear you'll find me dressed in gray
The current always seems to run the other way

Another coral another reef
Another song to mask my grief
With who and when and why am I to die?

Sway the sea forward
And sway the sea back
Caverns in the coral
Start with a crack
And I here I sit quietly
Hiding to attack
The whales they always knew
About the free sky so blue

But now I'm old on my sandy bed
Came to my senses and I laid my eggs
Plankton glows and on my toes I dance
