The GoldfishSo this is
my world, eh?
This is a square world.
Triangle?
Could it be a round ... okay?
Do they call this flying ... no?
I know that I'm not walking.
What am I doing?

I do that a lot.
Forget things.
Oh...

FISH OUT OF WATERam I more valid when I am in water
I am apt to explore outside my bubble
a gurgle of spoken word
unknown
on my scales the weight
of air
I swim
through the sky
the dream
scares the girl
for me it’s divine
‘fore I...

Lone FishI observed some tiny fish whose formation was a ball,

My Tropical FishFish are swimming all around
Moving with no sound
Pink, yellow and gold
Some fish even glow
They stare at me in the morning

Swimming through the bubbles

Greenling Elegy - Revision
clouded omens across code

day-glow gradients of green
scales gasping
toward the summit
regret etched in the eyeball
a penumbra...

The Fish HeadOnce, this hollow
in a washed up fish head held
an eye. Now it's just a skull,
an escapee from a crab pot
where it hung as bait to attract
a wandering claw.
I cradle it in my hands,
its flesh...
