Goldy
K. E. Lakely
Orange
Scales
Gills
So was my Goldy, my golden
Fish delight; My pet.
She swam so gracefully.
Actually, I'm not
So sure
If goldy was male
Or female,
BUT!
I loved her or him
I loved it
Just the same.
Until I found her floating
one day
upside down.
Dead.
Floating dead like my
Dead dead heart.
Oh, Goldy!
Sweet dreams,
If fish can do that.
Alas, you are truly
Sleeping with the fishes.
