Lion fish



Disguised as a clown’s bow tie,
a harlequin of humour,
your hidden menace
faces the other way.
Tiger striped,
and ready for war;
convict striped
your battleground  / prison quad
the confining glass of aquaria.
Dangerous beauty
a parable
for the beguiling
magnificence
of forbidden things.
