how fish die alone
the school
simply moves on
how like kids
feeling their way
last bits of nitrogen
and oxygen
scales pick off
the swim bladder
sickens won’t a big fish
come put you out
your dizzying dance
toward bottom
simple incision barracuda
cookie-cutter
that ounce of pain
make it pounds
scavengers scuttle
from the reef
pick pulling and prodding
into what’s left
of you
