Before the King of Atlantis

We'd spent the weekend fishing
The open ocean was wicked and toiling
Our small boat was unstable
We'd caught many fish but
The storm was rising
And spoke aloud a prayer to the king
He was unkind
Enormous and filled with ire
We were in awe
We were tiny and insignificant
Before him
We survived only by our guile
Insignificance
And luck
