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
