Poet Beth "Batyah" Elishevah Ginzberg expresses her creative poetic meditations about water as a very powerful atmospheric element of the environment. Ginzberg wrote these poems at the East Rogers Park Lake Michigan Beaches, on-the-spot, to experientially convey the full effect of the Great Lakes of Chicago, IL USA for your reading pleasure.

SOUNDS FISHY TO ME

Image result for fish
Camping? Fishing? "No we do not fish." Who fishes and who does not, and what this means is who likes fish and who does not, or whether or not one can stand the sport of killing fish, fresh, fishy, and then chopping off the head, take a bite. 

Kosher fish only. What does this mean, Kosher fish only, it means no shark, no predatorial meat eating fish, no shellfish, no catfish, no swordfish. To eat only fish with fins and scales: this is Kosher fish eating. The Hebrew people asked God for fish, not meat. We prefer fish to meat, and always have, generations to generations of eating healthy fish as a preference over animal meat.

Eating a shark can turn its eater into a shark. To bite everyone with your sharp incisor teeth, as a shark would, to be mean, hostile, man-eating. What does the Torah say about those who worship an alien god instead of our Lord? That he will eat himself and his children alive. Craving meat that contains blood? Kosher meat has no blood, we use salt smeared onto the meat that soaks up the blood from the inside of the meat, and then we brush it off. Torah says never to consume bloody meat. Blood is the life source of the animal, the blood contains the souls of the animal. To allow a slaughtered animal to have a soul that rests in peace.

So what is fishy? There are many fishy fishes, breaded fish, beer battered fish, blue gills, salmon that is also smoked lox. Nova Scotia lox. Lox as a fish, orange in color, a healthy complexion, as one could eat sweet potatoes and this causes an orange healthy tint to the face, to look like an angel. The Carnitine nutrient in the sweet potato is the ingredient that causes orange facial coloring. Healthy, not a problem. Looks like a golden suntan, shining like an angel.

To use a fish-scaler that when rubbed on the fish's scales rips off the scales, one by one, so we can eat this fish, not to choke on its scales. 

The eye of the fish, never closes, it does not blink, the eyes of most fish stay open. When a fish is prepared for a meal, its eyes too stay open, not to eat the bony head. The tail is good, but not the back fins. To use sliced cucumbers and toothpick them over the fish to look like scales, after the real scales have been scraped off.

One fish two fish red fish blue fish. We end up with two instead of one, and a blue fish instead of a red fish. Can we mate these two fish the red and the blue and get a purple fish! The Proverbs from the Writings instruct all women to wear some purple everyday. Purple to represent the respect of "people of color". Purpling people.
