Something's Fishy

SOMETHING’S FISHY

 

tongue feels rough like alligator skin
mouth tastes of saline estuary mud
catfish lips cry heron songs
my head has become a swamp

and you just stand there

sipping expensive beer

fishing my eyes

for answers

You do nasty really well - "tongue feels rough like alligator skin"... jeepers! Very powerful imagery with high cringe factor! Well done!
