'Feeding the Fish' is a stunning tear-jerker of a poem, and I give thanks to the author for her amazing technique of combining beautiful, transitional phrases and symbolism. The imagery is breathtaking. (ie. "the matress slightly hollowed / like grass where deer bed down / i dream the pattern of the pillow cases") The poem is a post-Requiem beauty, and the simple act of feeding Mulder's fish is brought to life with love and realism through Scully's angst-ridden mind. Who knew so much could come to mind while feeding goldfish? Wonderful writing, and if I were so inclined to give this poem a rating between 1-5, I would most definitely rate it a 5. :)
