Fish dinner

Fish dinner

A Poem by Chandra Tutu Latke
"

Animals

"
I seduce the color red
I make offerings to the color black .
I live in the silver of the cats green eyes
As he pounces on his prey
I delve into the lipstick on the goat
Such shimmering, gleaming hues
The pigs sleep on the couch, and I pout
The b******s are eating bacon again
For breakfast
They named them Breakfast, Lunch and
Dinner
Such hypocrites, they want a new fluffy
Baby chick like the neighbors do
I shudder over the sadistic grins
the horrid screams...
I make offerings to the color black , I seduce
The color red but I wonder what fish THINK as they are pulled from that dark abyss, and the blue spume in their wake
A muticolored array of rainbow delight
Do they wonder, at all
What am I going to eat tonight...
