Jesus Drowns in the Sea of Galilee
Andres Rojas

            …and I will make you fishers of men

Sometimes

life is more
than.

Sometimes
life is more.

Then

for years
(for years)

we lay
children

side by side
like carp,

grind them fine
into our fingertips:

scale-powder,
bone meal,

isinglass.

Others
we scatter

like salt,
pepper,

words
that wouldn’t

save the lost
nor maybe

preserve them.
