I think that I would <br />like to be <br />a meal for every <br />passing fish <br /> <br />this useless <br />carcass at last <br />of some use <br />to some other creature <br /> <br />other than me. <br />A dish <br />fit for a fish! <br /> <br />Eat up! <br />(little fishes) <br />eat up! <br />My skeleton <br />begins to grin <br /> <br />as I wipe a pearl <br />from my eye <br />wondering yet <br />again <br /> <br />what was it like <br />being human <br />for ever the sea <br />whispering rich & strange <br /> <br />rich <br />& <br />strange.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/papillions-noir/
