fish eyes.

shallow and permanent
water in a bucket
keeping the cool eyes cool
keeping the melting ice
the stink of constant time
decaying in a bucket
trickling faucet to fish
trickling fish to sink
the scales of a glossy tear
shallow and permanent
its head is going
floating on
off to the side

on the slab
once with a dull knife

it goes, the body left.
