Sacred Salmon

 

You must see this fish!

You must see this fish caught in a net

You must see this fish caught in a net
hoisted high out of the waves

You must see this fish caught in a net
hoisted high out of the waves
by men who care nothing for him

A  blazing vision of his beloved
occupies his mind, delighting in his beloved
he would not exchange places with anyone
enthralled this way by love
he is prince of his world
he must pity us all

Would not exchange places with anyone
enthralled this way by love
he is prince of his world
he must pity us all

Prince of his world
he must pity us all

Pity us all

Really clever, and worked well.
I'm not familiar with this structure of poetry (does it have a name)

I wondered what was happening in the middle, then realized as I read on.
