:iconteaganwhite:

last night you dreamt of a room -
a room full of fish,
and a swimming pool
where you waded knee-deep
and hauled them all in

except for one, already dead,
a large bluefish wedged
into a corner, its back stiff.

you remember it later: its eye
like a button,
a button on another person's coat.


-- from "you don't know what happened
when you froze," a poem by talvikki ansel

yellow bedroom by ~objekt-stock

all fish drawn from my own reference photos.

resemblance to sandy skoglund image is entirely coincidental, please please please stop pointing it out, i don't really care anymore.

That is such a cool poem, it was really fun to read it line by line, and watch the picture take on the meaning more and more every time! *u*
