"FIRE HAS LEFT THE HEARTH

Fire has left the hearth
Nautilus climbed from shell
Perfume flowed from bottle
Prisoner gone from cell

Butterfly flutterbied cocoon
nor hand restrained by glove
Jesus away from manger
Cage left by Spirit Dove.

Sparklings soared away from wand.
Chick's egg become the bird.
Omkar sung from out the throat
Violin's notes now heard.

Buddhist temple pine cone
tabernacle'd godlet seed
Shattered that it might manifest
thousand forests of fir tree

Eternal snow of mountain top
now nurses meadow flowers.
Shining never held by sun
relentless melts ice towers.

Love has left its
spring the heart
Is now a liquid pond
Host stolen from the chalice
consumed in mouth of God

Starlight abandoned star
a billion years ago
Left that tonight you
might
have its sight
and know

Know Love is forever
no drop of God ever dies
Lover not bound by form of love
God's bodies are not God's souls

on the death of Robert S)

of love is more powerful than

He found when he chose
the bug oer the
rose
God gave him back
endless blooms of rose.

FISH STORIES
---------------------------------------------------------------------

HOW TO SERVE A SUFFOCATED FISH

First cut off his fin
It's his steering wheel
Then chop off his lungs
He can't breathe without
his gills.
Then gouge out his eyes
for he no longer needs to
see
And scrape off those
inedible diamonds
.. his diving suit scales.
Tattletell
of the size of his tail..
and how you left
in the water
a wake of bloody trail.

De-gut him, deluded
into thinking..his
guts are more putrefied
than the rest of his flesh.
Then grill his gills
and fry his eyes
and bake his mad fish muscles
and maybe wish on his bones.

How to serve a fish:
cast your bread upon
the waters in which he
freely swims.

BUSTER CRAB

Buster Crab
was a fisherman named
after Buster Crab.
He was a crab buster
.. but in the long
run the crab
was the buster
...is it awful
that he eats offal
.. causing hepatitis
..and meningitis?

DO FISH FEEL PAIN

Do fish feel pain?
Do they suffer?
feel agony
when human others
do them smother?
the terror in their eyes
.. the gasping for breath
in the boat
.. the fighting against
the hook
which is caught in gills
or throat or eyes..
are these signs of
distress?
Are they children
of the same Father Mother?
our sisters and our
brothers?
Are we recipients of
stolen goods when
their dead bodies
are on our plates?
By God given feelings..
yet like stroke
victims
they cannot scream.

NO PAIN CROSS

Casting bread upon
the waters of the
sea.. the biggest
aquarium..
the one with the
most room..
like snow it sifts
gently down
.. vertical axes
.. intersecting
the horizontal
axes of fish
moving to and fro..
.. no collision
.. no nails
.. no pain

EPIPHANY

He decided no longer
to bury the parts
of other animals
in his stomach.

FISH WEEPS

How can one tell
if a fish weeps
when he's immersed
in the briny deeps?
He weeps for those
caught in the nets
.. he'll destroy
those nets
before sunset

ICHTHYOLOGIST AND ANGLER

He was an ichthyologist
and also an angler.
He studied fish
in order more efficiently
to murder them and devour
them.
But some day he would
suddenly realize
he loved them...
and then he would change.

SUFFER NO SUFFOCATION 3

Creatures they rip
from seashallows
for the divine nature in
fishes they do not hallow
.. as they piscean dismembered
parts swallow
.. the human body
becomes a gallows

(books of Leonard Horowitz document the role
Nobel winner Gallo played with Merck and the DOD
in spreading AIDS throughout
Africa and the USA;... whether or not he and Kissinger
should retain the Nobel is open to question)

(fish cannot scream.. a poster created by a British
animal rights activist)

FISH STORIES
1 A man took his daughters fishing in Tampico Bay in Mexico.. and was spiked by a large catfish who severed his hand artery. His life was saved as he was able
to get medical attention for the profuse bleeding.
2 . Janet B an editor at a NY publishing house goes fishing and catches a hook in the fish' eye. She never fishes again.
3 . PW, at the Soldier and Sailors' Home in Washington, catches the same fish out of the pond virtually every day for 10 years.. each time pulling the hook from the throat.. sometimes with flesh attached. PW
died of throat cancer. (The child of a wellknown presidential
candidate went to a hospital to be treated for his flyfishing hook which was imbedded in his nose.)
4. St. Blaze is considered by Catholics the patron saint of
protection from fishbyproducts since he is said to protect the lives of those choking on fish bones.
5. One national cancer association reports that fish consumption is related to stomach cancer.. those countries with the highest fish consumption having the highest rates. Included are Korea, Japan, Norway, Chile etc.
6. The EPA issues 3500 warnings against fish consumption in one year alone.. because of high levels of pcb's (polychlorinated biphenols),
arsenic, chromium, mercury and dozens of other toxic metals etc.

9. EB was a fisherman all his life and lived into his mid nineties. He stopped fishing after he dreamt one night that he was tiny and a fish was very large. The fish had him on a hook. The sale of fish brings 54 million to the state of Maryland, whose governor has just prevailed on 3 chains in the Washington area to begin again to sell Chesapeake fish despite the pfiesteria disease. One factor of many in the disease of the fish might be the Calvert Cliffs nuclear power plant, which raises the temperature of the water
in the area.
10. NPR caller, Oct 27, 97: My mother never got to see the same military
MD twice, so it was years before medical detectives realized that her Saturday headaches were caused by her Friday fisheating with an allergy to iodine.
11 NPR November 6, 1997: Dr. James Porter of the Univ. of Athens at Georgia is studying the many new fishes diseases such as black band and white pox. He says that increased shipping, increased pollution, and overfishing (perhaps an oxymoron) are factors for the rise.
In one year, says the EPA, the coral diseases have quadrupled.
Snorkelers are advised that coral is not a dead rock but a colony of living animals
and therefore asked not to remove them.
12 . U.S. News and World Report Nov 24, 1997: One of the strains causing food poisoning in shellfish is Vibria Vulnificus.

There are also over 100,000 dolphins caught in tuna fish and other nets, and many whales are caught in lobster lines. Lisa Simpson of the Simpsons rescued a fish caught in a 6 pack plastic
holder and threw him back into the water.
18. While the UNFAO The United Nations Food and Agriculture
Organization says the oceans are dying and there are not enough fishes for those who want to eat them, the Dept. of Interior in July sponsored a
week of fishing. http://www.fao.org
19. The Texas Dept. of Health states that 245 people have been victims of illness from oysters in Galveston Bay. The bacterium is Vibrio
parahaemolyticus. 208 people have had oyster illness in the

the Mississippi, lipophilic insecticides in Lake Erie, pfiesteria in the Atlantic seaboard ..arsenic, chromium and mercury, pcb's, insecticides, fish killing old oil and every other toxin in the
oceans,
shellfish in the NE
eating unprocessed human waste, where is there fresh fish?
Farmed salmon in the NW, says an NPR guest on Feb 24th, can be
released
into the wild exploding new bacteriae into the ocean.
v. Arsenic poisoning (arsenic from the oceans is concentrated in the
flesh of fishes) creates lesions and warts on the hands. NPR
reported
on Dec 29, 1998 that many million in Bangladesh are dying of arsenic
poisoning from its concentration in well water, and in water of the
delta.
w. Dr. Owen Parrett, MD has spoken of the worms present in Rocky Mtn.
trout. In Dec of 98, AP reported on a parasite worm affecting many
trout in Colorado, Idaho, Montana etc. The parasite causes the fishes
to turn in circles until they die.
x. Government recalls in Jan 99 18,000 lbs of Hansung salted yellow
croaker because of fear of deadly botulism.
y. An El Cajon California man reports that lightning struck
the metal poles (hooks and wires also?) of his group's lightning

z2 Because factory farmed fish are given bone meal
from other animals, the incidence of Mad Fish is on the
rise.
z3 Fish are becoming female or sterilized from the trillions
of gallons of urine from cows and pigs and chickens
given female hormones.. urine whose hormones remain in
the waters.

Atlantic seaboard cities.. Shellfish are the number two
cause of hepatitis.
