Miraculous Fishes by Betsy Fagin

0
By Mom Egg Review on April 7, 2016 Poetry

Betsy Fagin

betsy fagin

miraculous fishes

surviving body feast
days bosom ceiling
already-formed tenderness
the marvelously luminous
genderfish fills their nets

with the bell cure of souls
not cranes of vigilance
or safe-keeping, only ravens
of heresy want knowns
combust and survive dispersal
