Belly-up at Dawn

Radio’s on loud at the crack of dawn though it blared to the full moon too A couple of fans whir all day though it’s mostly hot air they spew A goldfish drifts belly-up in her bowl dirt-clouds laze past the coral and shoal The pall of her death stifles the air where once breathed a maiden so fair
