The Fisher, Take 3


The Fisher

I wish to gulp in the sea with my fish
And my own damned sense of glad blasphemy.
Does it take more than a mad salty kiss,
To drown and forget your humanity?
Away with you lofty creatures of air
Who fly by the light of pale nebulas
Float over on flotsam of bashed hulks bare
Or by polyp and bulbous medusa.
    Maelstrom, spin the fabric of my freedom,
    When the boards crack, I'll let you grab my throat.
    Sunken iceberg, be my palace in the ocean
    Freeze as your tentacles suck on my boat
High albatross, you're no herald of peace,
These empty stores are where I'll make my feast!
