Dónall Dempsey - PAPILLIONS NOIR

I think that I would
like to be
a meal for every
passing fish

this useless
carcass at last
of some use
to some other creature

other than me.
A dish
fit for a fish!

Eat up!
(little fishes)
eat up!
My skeleton
begins to grin

as I wipe a pearl
from my eye
wondering yet
again

what was it like
being human
for ever the sea
whispering rich & strange

rich
&
strange.
