in the Secret Company of Fishes
they read the homeless wild sensed books
they offer, divinely, a tea party, feed the Fishes clotted cream,
the Fishes eat themselves as Fish
read the books, that, like axes break the skulls of ice,
the shining skin of shellfish, a scar re-formed as an island of ice, a book put
down in a box for members only registration in the re-form of sticky
notes that stings the skin of collected pages
a burning inkfilled Fish an octopus hidden under evil dresses
an ocean of regression and regrets steaming the Fishes the menu of
centuries ; a time for be-coming
–
justified
just fine
so sad sorry
carry someone
care for them unknowing
know no thing of carry the Names of the Berries ; raspberries
cloudberries sea buckthorn ; in the Arms and the
Mouth of the Bear
unknowing thereof
the Meaning of Care
the Meaning of Cage
carry someone
care for the unknown
know no better know not how cages of care
dis-solve into melting the iron of lungs as the wind burn
out into
care
carry caresses in secrets sneaker
like the sneaky march of/f ; the Bear
lost in the marchland, embraced by the cage, a wall in the
skin, an arm around fasting and feasting as Nights carry
… the care of,
Strawberries.
1 Day
the Fish is per-mitted
the Fish is leaving
the Fish is picked up
allowed to come home
only for the day but only
Home is not
at home
the left over Fish
try to comply
1 lost anger
1 angry loss
the Mother of the Fish must throw
a way
all the Food
touched by the Fish
the Hands of the Fish lights the Wrath
What did you say, said the Mother
Do not say so, said the Mother
the Fish do not re-member
What It Said.
100 days later the Fish
is re-mitted
