Fish and the history of humanity

a poem by Arkava Das

The fishes cry out like long spears
With ages enough to wither many moons
Our ancestors carved them with their hands
They did not carve the fish
They held it though
As all life starting from the dark
The hunting of the moons
Gave rise to the jaw of the sea
Beneath our heads
Our joining hands signified nothing
We already had bones joined
Into massiveness.
