Old Caribbean Jew Fish – This is the type of fish that Bishop caught in Key West, Florida. Peeling Brown Wallpaper

“I thought of the course white flesh Packed in like feathers…and the pink swim-bladder like a big peony.”

“I looked into his big eyes which were far larger than mine but shallower, and yellowed, the irises backed and packed with tarnished tinfoil seen through the lenses of old scratched isinglass.”

“He hung a grunting weight, battered and venerable and homely.” -”It was more like the tipping of an object toward the light. I admired his sullen face, the mechanism of his jaw… “Like medals with their ribbons frayed and wavering, a five-haired beard of wisdom trailing from his aching jaw.”

I stared and stared and victory filled up the little rented boat, from the pool of bilge where oil had spread a rainbow around the rusted engine to the bailer rusted orange, the sun-cracked thwarts, the oarlocks on their strings, the gunnels--until everything was rainbow, rainbow, rainbow! And I let the fish go.
