The Catch
April 10, 2019
Blood drying on dry scales
Sun beaming down on my curly, brown hair
Eyes squinting into a camera,
While theirs were wide open
I held them by the tail
To make sure they wouldn't swim away
On the yellow concrete below
Godlike, I held my dinner in both hands
while their fading blue scales turned grey
My fish didn't swim away
They listened to my command
And I caught them
And held them in my hands
