Fish Kill: The End of the Line

Fish Kill




Uncle Arnold got fat
that summer,

belly full
of potato candy

a sugar roll
bursting
with peanut butter

like pimples
Aunt Midge popped
on his back after work.

Uncle Arnold died 
at the bottom of an oil tank,

red, white, and blue
puffing him up,

painting his lungs

like fourth of July
beside the Ohio 



while Aunt Midge
drew fingers through
curly yellow locks,

knocked catfish off hooks
into bloody buckets

watching them
gasp and swell


under a rotting sun.
