Fishin'Methinks the fisherman has caught himself a shark -
A fish his nets can't keep and boat cannot support.
Yet he he maintains the line. Hooked firmly to his bark,
The beast is tethered tightly and the line is taut.

What use has he for her? A stew, a steak, a dish
With spice and wonder or is she but testament
To skill and courage of his crew, meant to distinguish
Men from boys as women brim with wonderment?

A shark! The whispers gather on the deck like smoke,
A haze of fear and pride, they savour their reward
While their night's catch fights vainly 'gainst unyielding yoke -
The sun picks out staccato splashes overboard.

Beneath a f

La vie. i-5She tests the tepid waters of her fate,
first with a toe, then, hems in hand, she wades
through deep uncharter'd waters and creates
whirlpools and waves and finds her life unmade,
the surface rippled and unsteady by
uncertain steps and inexperienced gait,
smooth liquid parted with a faltering thigh-
thus some years pass, her life still inchoate.

She grows but more unsure with time, thoughts thick,

How to prepare a meal of...How to prepare a meal of those you love

Take your mother, wash and quarter her,
Season with pepper and sterile insouciance.
Submerge in warm milk, roll in seasoned flour

2-3 minutes remembering long November road trips
With half a country crawling through the window.
Serve with finely chopped corriander
And a side of steamed seasonal vegetables.

Bring a generous pot of salted water to the boil.
Skin and cube seventy pounds of pre-marinated father.
Place raw meat carefully in boiling water and
Add sliced beetroot, chopped onions, a bouquet garni

morning 3Scene: A few hours past midnight. Digital clocks flash numbers that are strangers to all but a few insomniacs. A blonde girl, nude save for a pair of resonantly bright blue shoes stands on the sticky metallic floor of an elevator, its perfume of nausea and rain made pleasantly rare with the approaching aurora. An exposed back catches shadows in galvanic light. Looking up at the steely ceiling, her mouth open like an orchid, optic nerves abuzz with afterglow, she begins to spin on her toes, drawing perfect trigonometric functions with her arms. The elevator plunges skyward. Its sleepless gears bellow down its voided spine in dissonant groans.

I agree, and you've done a truly great job on this drawing. You got his facial expression perfectly right, which I'm sure is not an easy thing to do. Fabulous!
