man eater

Man-Eater

A great sight, a flock of flying fishes,
hunted by dolphins, sailing through
the air, almost like birds, side fins
outspread soaring, alas, they landed
on the deck of my ship;

fried they taste as mackerel which
I don’t like since I found an oxidised
wedding ring in the belly of a giant
nasty looking mackerel bought at
a fishmonger’s in Bergen. (Norway)


(flock since they flew like birds)
