fish straight from smiling pond to hungry table
ish went the flopping catch fresh from its cradle
sh said the fire sleep sweet small angel
+
guests cut teeth into flesh like a sharp pinking shear
oh the sighs of delight the skilled chef he did hear
sweet musical feelings out of bones to his ear
+
short flashes of memories long left the fish
amidst flutters of lashes poor thing had one wish:
to see loved ones again not as ashes or a dish
+
his angel twinkled; a lit tunnel she did send
is this home? fish winkled and it swam fast to the end
