Reading Carp

Another fishing poem, I must take up the rod again soon.
Envisage a shell-shocked stare!
A gammy pulp of lip
Gulping superfluous air:
A beehive bloated body, where
Yellows acquiesce to gold and
a fat summer paunch heaves
Like a drum: my ear near, my
Eye exposed as barbed steel glints
From the gills, sharp as fear.
A leaden aura of incarceration
Ensues;
Which for that moment explains:
Then for a lifetime exhumes.
Envisage a shell-shocked stare!
A gammy pulp of lip
Gulping superfluous air:
A beehive bloated body, where
Yellows acquiesce to gold and
a fat summer paunch heaves
Like a drum: my ear near, my
Eye exposed as barbed steel glints
From the gills, sharp as fear.
A leaden aura of incarceration
Ensues;
Which for that moment explains:
Then for a lifetime exhumes.
