fisherman
Bardejov
Galilee is a sea where fishes dream about seahorses
and walruses
and humpback whales
and will that man who walked across the waves so ordinary that it all seemed right
will he bring them the moray eels they only read about in the Underwater Times?
But some say he was responsible for a great massacre as he brought them from the water to feed the land dwellers
"You have it wrong" says one old fish.
"He never took a single fish from the sea but multiplied what there already was."
The fishes nodded in assent and secretly cheered that the time for narwhales and tunafish would one day draw near.

This might be the best thing you've written yet! (Not meaning to belittle the past poems at all, of course...) Even the fish have faith!
well, CB is right. this is great! so imaginative, Z.
fish with faith!?
oh, and have you tried clicking on the "handicap" icon under the WORD VERIFICATION?
it sounds like the people are under water! like your poems are as of late.
