Sunfish!

The light at the end of my day.

The day at the end of my night.

I look upon thee and weep.

Sunfish!

With your eyes, you gaze

through water upon water

there in the ocean, oh so deep.

Sunfish!

Do you sometimes think

think, at all

about people up there, about me?

Sunfish!

With your disk-shaped body

Your beautiful fins, I do not believe you when you say

I am merely flesh and teeth.

Sunfish, do you understand

The way I walk

The way I am

Do you believe

when I say,

sunfish,

that I love

the way you'll be

Sunfish!

Oh, sunfish!

I sometimes swear that

it's you up there I see.
