Silver Fishes

Silver fishes slipping swimming
Drowned in baths and basins brimming
Like the knives that slice through silence
Silver fishes cut through darkness
Silver daggers, silver dreams
Silver laughter, silver screams
Burnt in little silver dishes
Sacrificial silver fishes
All the gods cry out in anger
At the silver fishes slaughter
Prayers offered prayers broken
Prayers drowned and left unspoken
Silver fishes slipping swimming
Sliding swimming through the night
