fisherman
he has a tattoo of a fishhook
it rests on his wrist
said the moon gave it to him
catch and release
he lives alone
spending the days
turning paper into pictures
the nights he prays
watches television
and listens for insomniac birds
he used to have a boat
one his father built out of a tree
it stayed on his roof
and he lay in it some nights
the rivers inside of him rushing
towards his kettle bottom heart
but a storm carried it away
so instead he sits by the pond
out behind his house
and imagines the fish
swimming around
waiting to be pulled up
