Reworked collage around THE LAST FISH poem by Basso, I introduced the image of a scorpion fish, not exactly by accident, after a nuclear blast the only species that survive are scorpions, so in my twisted poetic mind the scorpion fish is the the last fish !!!

Poem on trees and fish from ERIC BASSO, USA

 

Here's a new one for "The Ocean in a Sack."

                                                - E.

                          THE LAST FISH


        I'll never forget what he said to me
            the night I told him the time had come
          the red coals glowing in the trees
              were all that was left to us of the sun

        we'd seen the torment coming
            the anguish under wet-lidded eyes
               which spoke so eloquently of a past
             too far away and knew misfortune was
            the only thing that had a future here

           the time had come and all he could
              manage to say about the trees
           and those tortured eyes was that
                you can't dig a grave with a teaspoon

           the last fish cut scarcely a silhouette
        as it rose against the branches
        desperately seeking the empty sky

Nothing but single children with faint, moory mother smells in the throat, as trees, as blackadders, choosen and scentless (Paul Celan)

You have the ones who carry the roots of the world in their hearts and you have the others who have lost the roots (another proof of tree wisdom)
