went to sea
to beat the heat
to beat the heat
saturday's dinner
was fresh blue fish
with chopped tomatoes
and basil butter sauce
there's nothing
better than catching
your dinner.
keeping only
what you
can eat
when you
watch the last pass
of air through the gills
of a fish you find yourself
making a promise with the order
of nature to take responsibility
for the life you've taken.
if we all knew
the source of what
we consume, we would
not consume as much
as we do.
life is precious
and I'm guilty
of not taking this
seriously everyday
