a big lonely fish

from 'The Book of Bloom and Fading'

*

somewhere

at this very instant

a big lonely fish

is sinking

does she lack air to breathe?

did she forget how to swim?

did she lose her belief?

she just

has been tired

of waiting

this is a nice little parable. she waits for her love but he never returns to her. or she's waiting for love to come to her. either way, she dies of a broken heart. great piece.

This is so like all of us. We lack, we forget, we lose...we just get tired...
