A poem by Stephanie Phillips:
If I were to live my life in catfish forms
in scaffolds of skin and whiskers
at the bottom of a pond
And you were to come by one evening
when the moon was shining
down into my dark home
and stand there at the edge of my affection
and think "It's beautiful here by this pond.
I wish somebody loved me."
I'd love you and be your catfish friend
and drive such lonely thoughts from your mind.
And suddenly you would be at peace
and ask yourself "I wonder if there
are any catfish in this pond?"
It seems like the perfect place for them.
Amy Getzoff read this poem to the attendees of the memorial service for Stephanie on Monday evening, February 16. We believe that Stephanie wrote this poem when she was 19 yrs old. I hope you find it as amazing as I do.
