In the high tides of summer's warming Thaw
Hidden below the waves of molten steel
Released from the confines of winter's maw
Are Bladefish pairing up to dance with zeal
Metal is clashed in perfect syncope
Fins twist and churn whirlpools of flame alight
Bass notes are sung and warbled 'cross the sea
Tails splashing to respond with great delight
With blindest eyes they court at love's behest
Their primal urges knot in tight embrace
Their minds are merged as one in interest
Enraptured by a dream in outer space
In the low tides of winter's freezing Chill
Below, the pods of young that sleep are still
