An ekphrastic poetry video prompted by a storm drain stamped with a cast iron fish —a discourse between the natural environment and the manmade one.
a fish story
does the fish at the edge of the drain
remembers the water from which she was plucked?
now — cast in iron —
she reminds the storm
to flow under the footpath
back to sea
