Poem by Christoper Mulrooney (USA)

Published in Issue 33 of The Ofi Press

                                                                                                                                                   chum

the middling fish you carve up on the afterdeck and heave

in gobbets bleeding rankly over the side

this attracts a school of fish

you cannot bear down on hard enough with plastic filaments

and a riot act of nets
