The fish in the stone | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
would like to fall | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
back into the sea.
| He is weary
|
| of analysis, the small
|
| predictable truths.
|
| He is weary of waiting
|
| in the open,
|
| his profile stamped
|
| by a white light.
|
| In the ocean the silence |
| moves and moves
|
| and so much is unnecessary! |
| Patient, he drifts |
| until the moment comes |
| to cast his |
| skeletal blossom. |
| The fish in the stone |
| knows to fail is
|
| to do the living
|
| a favor. |
| He knows why the ant
|
| engineers a gangster's
|
| funeral, garish
|
| and perfectly amber.
|
| He knows why the scientist
|
| in secret delight
|
| strokes the fern's
|
| voluptuous braille.
