My poem “Fisher of Women” is in the July issue of Glass: A Journal of Poetry.
You’re trolling
for a wife. You want to bore
a hole and pull out
salvation. You want someone to
skin and fillet. Someone to replace
the chilled lips of the
bluegill pressed against
the icy line of your
mouth in your
favorite profile picture.
Someone slightly less
slippery. Someone slightly
more alive. I can tell you’re a
tender man by the way you
remove the hook.
