He is a fisherman from Guiana
doesn´t do Tonga, but the sea is blue.
His face is a map of America.
He fishes sharks (not Hemingway)
one of them took his arm.
Vengeance is mine, said the lord.
Crap !!! He says
and set red sail for China.

What's In My Backpocket?
I got 2 trowels in my back pocket
My back pocket, my back pocket
I got 2 trowels in my back pocket, and I don't know when to quit
I got 2 scoops of oyster crackers in my back pocket
My back pocket, my back pocket
I got 2 scoops of oyster crackers in my back pocket, and I don't know when to quit
I got a piece of salami in my back pocket
My back pocket, my back pocket
I got a piece of salami in my back pocket, and I don't know when to quit
I'm going down to the river and giving them fish a piece of my mind
Or maybe a little...

The Light of Fish
The hood followed a flying V of geese- excited to see what was ahead.. The mountains slowly woke stretching its arms into the light. Like a Polaroid it slowly developed it’s image onto the water. It's shadow turned from purple to orange to a gold that caused time to pause in royal reverence, with the complement of perfect silence both inside and outside the car. Her eyes kept cadence with the subtle changes of the morning march. She just smiled with a whisper, "Thanks for taking me fishing dad."

Ocean Child
A novice life I live onshore,
To do what a landlubber did.
To not tell what I was before
As I hide a taste for raw squid.
Design my own cloth of seagrass
With coral and pearls I collect.
I never once mention my past,
Or let show my fins to suspect.
Extending my silvery reach
I take in the sea breezes’ rush,
Becoming a new memory
Inclining my head in a hush.
As I close my eyes and pretend
The feeling of feet on land’s end.
To do what a landlubber did.
To not tell what I was before
As I hide a taste for raw squid.
Design my own cloth of seagrass
With coral and pearls I collect.
I never once mention my past,
Or let show my fins to suspect.
Extending my silvery reach
I take in the sea breezes’ rush,
Becoming a new memory
Inclining my head in a hush.
As I close my eyes and pretend
The feeling of feet on land’s end.

Mola Mola (me)

i want those sky dancers
the white puffs of pillows
always move & be quick

Night Nursery
( senryu )
silently inching unseen,
unless you squint,
the algae-eater — eats
🐟
it never admonishes,
sees or lectures
but duly polishes
🐟
while the two residents,
my tiger oscars,
take turns fanning the eggs
🐟
smartest of all tank fish,
they are royalty
and I feed them by hand
🐟
in the midst of pebbles,
of castle and conch
rests a nest of grey slate
🐟
the expectant mother ...

Not Fishin’ for Platys or Pus(s)
I know for a fact
Minxie’s cast lines and hooks
I know it’s just that
looking for fish, letters
Books
Of or and about
Her and lines and sinker
catch those effin
Platys no push or fuss
No mammal
no no no pus
or puss like a cute kitten
wet and wanting
crack is the tuna
to sing a meow
& now I am certain
You understand
this
Platypus spill
cryptic and
wish
It was something else!!!

early one morning
Early one morning
It is early morning the boars are back in the woods
The prostitutes sleep in dingy rooms, and rats are back
In the sewers and cats sleep on a sofa looking cute.
Soon cars will fill the street the traffic lasts till six
Then it dies down but remains until midnight.
Now it is time for the nocturnal animals to shine there
Is much food about the leftovers of our disrespect?
For nourishment which we take for granted.
Two pigeons land on the window sill looks in talk

Little fishes
It is not easy to be baby fish
They are on their own from the word go
Avoiding bigger fish.
No time to build sandcastles
Or play hide and seek in the seaweed.
It is about survival most of them get eaten.
They have no empathy, we have but
Ignore it when killing children in Yemen
And raping them.
Some children never see daylight
Abortion so easy to come by sees to that
Forever dreamless eternity
We are losing our empathy and humanity
We are becoming like the fish
Survive or die no one will care for them.

Sloop Clearwater (what one person started)
( Pete Seeger )
On the Hudson River, New York
the graceful silhouette
of a familiar sloop
passes onlookers who recall
a time when the river was filled
with waste and toxic runoff,
when nothing
and no one was safe
in or near its sluggish water
filled with
trash and human feces.
Pete Seeger, folk singer,
activist,
who watched the Hudson
peacefully flow by
for hours
atop his Beacon home
he and his wife Toshi built.
Kneeling on the shore,
one day, Pete put his hand

Gone Fishing
It’s June, & winter in Johannesburg,
but how to justify thinking of that.
Why not Cape Town at Table Mountain;
why South Africa at all?
I’m on the other side of the world,
wearing cutoffs over my 2-piece
and peering through Raybans—
Defiant, looking straight into Summer
‘cross the Pacific’s blinding shimmer
as I stand on a weathered jetty,
a jar of live bait at my feet.
A fishing pole in my right hand
gripped tight in its fist
like a javelin
that I’m getting read to throw. ...

Wet Fish, Demur
Wet Fish, Demur
(& poor torpor me)
(Twenty-one of 30 -- Official DUP NaPo/GloPoWrimo 2019)
You tell me!
What does a wet fish
have to worry about?
They swim
& their swim
persists.
So why
the lay down
hesitation?
Why resist?
Although,
a wet fish,
demur,
would I
be sinful,
lustful,
impure,
to take down
pounce upon
something
this sure?!
Writhing
out of their element
laying ever so still ----
