Proxy Fish

Perhaps the man was sad
lost too much of what he had.
Writes a lot with his pen
to pour out what's within.

Words are writ intently
compassionate and gently
of the longing and desire
finding life to be a lier.

So his attentions change
extend to another range.
Could be a proxy, the fish;
a substitute for a lovin dish.
