A Pan Fried Fish…? Poem by Mark Heathcote

A Pan Fried Fish…?



Destiny isn't that
A pan-fried fish?
That just couldn't
Have been any other dish
But look too at its silver gills
It's open and closed paused mouth.
Note the lilting silence of a passing breath
The cadence fall, the rising of it all
Note the frosted-glass panel. This isn't death
When these patterns melt and fade, do not gall
In that heart, there was a truer, purer, nature,
There is a blessed rainfall… An overhaul
A windfall… Where art has magic yet to conjure.
That drabbest censor goes back into the thrall
After all …No stars… prosaic light
Ever dined alone or diminished one solitary night.
