the music
quiet and everywhere
in me
that I was calm
each movement a swirling out
coming back tidily
and the next day
it was the same
my spine held by air
two fish
ink on paper
still with hooks in their mouths
an eye
a white belly curving the side of the other
blackish as a catfish ought to be
though I don't believe the line between them
this fish with its third eye
though clearly there are two fish
