a fish bowl
Sky, a fish bowl, a dome
of light, bent
in shapes of death
and life, of silent
dreams or crow
conventions
on the wind, clustered
cloistered
Sky, a fish bowl
wrapped in cotton
muted color
faded, nightfall glimmers
swum in moods
a gentle touch
your lips, your breath
a fish bowl
swimming, swimming
spawning sky
a fish bowl
for nothing, everything

ReplyDeletedid JENS fishinspire the poem or did u write the poem and then pick the image?
ReplyDeleteI wrote the poem years ago, sans picture, but both these images are terrific -- Jim
ReplyDeleteThis sort of looks like a painting Charles, but I was just messing around in photoshop. Stephan's photo actually goes better with Jim's poem methinks.
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE this poem Jim. Your writing is gorgeous.
