“The Death of Fishes”

The great green eye of the wave
rolls a pea along a socket; the glimmer
in the shore

bludgeons

the death of fishes;

Incandescence along
the shore

fills with sound and then
nothing more.

Hi Benign' I always admire concise writing and this is a great example "peas along a socket" super image. Could you clarify a point for me, Is the plural of 'fish' just 'fish' and not 'fishes'?
