Pisces in the Milky Way
swims upstream to breed
10,000 miles he's traveled, astream,
to arrive again from where he left
to embody and release
and fertilize the valley
with his honesty, integrity, and thick skin
in the cycle of things
His brain, his philosophy
His heart, his economy
His gills, by the grace of God
gives life to hope
that is fish
all of these in the cycles of things
give rise to new life
like the body of Christ
nourishes and feeds the soul
that is wheat, tree, minnow
meadow and fold
hearth and hold
a check on power that would corrupt
the cycle of things brings
moderation to an entropic woald
