Rotting Heart
January 6, 2014
I smell these fish and think of you
The endless nights
Frozen cold
Sitting on frozen cold squid
Defrosting it,
well,
trying
Catching my first fish,
Casting my first line
Getting a hook caught in my hand
It didn't really hurt but I said it did
So you'd kiss me
Catching that little grouper
Rubbing the bellies of those poor pufferfish
But I smell these fish
Their rotting flesh
And I hate the way
They still
Remind me
Of you
