Congratulations to you for “Dodo”, your most recently published poem!! I love your conception of the creative process as appreciation for a metaphorical school of koi, each one an idea💡 swimming in our minds. I, too, long to “set the cats to purr” so we can get back to daydreaming of one fish, two fish, novel fish, short story fish 🎣 ….
Ah, the sonic goodness in this poem is delicious: "tasting settled vestiges and digesting", "the bubbles ‘n' splash speak of gathering fish". And what a sad and distressing and profound phrase... "The brilliance of the extinct"

Thank you for the lovely poem and the story to go with it. I can see you clearly in both, my deep-sighted and courageous old friend.
Beautiful ❤️
