Listen to poem:
Fish dewatered delicious
is sucked dry with salt
its flesh assaulted
rung out, and dried stark stiff.
Wishes like fishes rise in expectation
that hopes and dreams will flourish
but knock-backs, rebuffs and rejections
desiccate dreams with onslaught of salt,
shrivelling wishes, wizen to salt wish.
