Ars Poetica<br />
<strong>By</strong> Jaclyn Porfi lio<br />
I have a silver carp in my back pocket,<br />
carried close from China,<br />
begging for a chance to craft its mark.<br />
I have Momma giving the same slap<br />
to the man with a name in the stars.<br />
I have alliteration soft ening the blow<br />
of the fi sh-shaped bruises<br />
and the parodied Volans.<br />
I have my potential predators,<br />
the boat and the darkness,<br />
the deep and the needle.<br />
I have the truth<br />
that top-feeding fi sh<br />
are the only ones who smile.<br />
I’m asking for your breath.<br />
