The city is the fishbowl where I live,
I am a fish…
Not a gold one,
not a guppy,
not a meaty one that you can trap and fry,
Not a pretty one at all…
I have scales of iron,
teeth like knives,
my colour is as black as night,
and from the deep and dark I rise…
The city is my fishbowl
and the water seems quite foul,
as I swim through streets and avenues, without a light,
without a sound…

What a striking, atmospheric piece. The imagery is bold, gritty, and beautifully symbolic—the “fishbowl city,” the iron scales, the silent navigation through darkness. It carries a haunting sense of resilience, identity, and solitude all at once. Francisco Bravo Cabrera’s writing paints a world that feels both poetic and visceral, inviting the reader to inhabit the shadows and strength of the narrator. A powerful and evocative work—thank you for sharing it.
