Fish with brown flesh,  collapsed scales,             strong                     hearts. Strange are those creatures that sink to t h e b o t t o m.      Choking in the seas       choking in the land. Coughing up        coral coughing up stars. “Why did they not tell us pre-life was better than life?”               And who is the murderer really?   The one who                    unwrites humanity or the             one who reads it?
