Untitled (Shido)

It's difficult to describe mystery without sounding cheesy. However, this poem by Shido does a good job of illustrating what is unknown and where it may be.

Right next to the brightest light in the sky is where the unimaginable (a shark?!) is. He's twice hidden there. He hides his head. He also hides beneath the wave. Wonder why he needs to be hidden two times since few would look too closely seeing as he's right next to the biggest thing in the night sky.

Haha, maybe the shark is self-conscious?

I like how the syntax in the poem mirrors hiding.

Favorite line: "There, by the crescent moon, the shark"
