Save the Whales Instead

I guess you could call me crazy

but
I have been cooped up, chewed up
and belted

under this rolling, hot temper
of yours,

but here I am, still
unshifting,

folded carefully and scented sweetly

that a thousand men would save me
if i allowed it,

but frankly,

i'm more interested in the moon's embrace

unwavered and slowly edging
to his freedom.
