World is what you swim in,or dance , it is simple we are in our element but we are not free. outside this world you cannot breathe for long . Th other has my shape . The other's movement forms my thoughts. and also mine. There is a man and there are hoops. There is a constant flowing guilt.
we have found no truth in these waters, no explanation tremble on our flesh . We are blessed and now we are not blessed. After travelling such space for days we began to translate . It was the same space . It is same space always and above it is the man .
And now we are no longer blessed, for the world will not deepen ti dream in . The other knows and out of love reflects me for myself. We see our silver skin flash by like memory of somewhere else. There is a coloured ball we have to balance till the man has disappeared.
The moon has disappeared. We circle well- worn grooves of water on a single note . Music of loss forever from the other's heart which turns my own to stone. There is a plastic toy . There is no hope. We sink to the limits of this pool until the whistle blows . There is a man and our mind knows we will die here.
THE poem DOLPHINS covers many themes regarding oppressions and lack of freedom . It also broaches idea which have to do with animals welfare and treatment of animals . The poem take us into the world of DOLPHINS , an endangered species, aand asks us to look at the world ffrom their perspective. We are asked to understand how their imprisonment by humans affects them . The speaker , a dolphin , remembers its previous life of freedom in the ocean and the sense of constriction and confinement that it now feels in the aquarium. The poem appears to be a dramatic monologue in the voice of a dolphin .
Here I drop my pen down . Thanks for reading, follow for more
