Deep blue of
cobalt
frilling
fins
he pauses to
stare out of the aquarium
then under
pallid leaves he lounges
seeming
disturbingly dead
till
fluttering to another transparent wall.
I noticed
this
peering in
at him
wondering if
he was happy in that space.
I noticed
this
staring out
my window
watching the frigid wind whip the pines
and fluff
the tails of squirrels.
They noticed
this
those squirrels
staring in my window
do they
wonder is she happy in there?
and could my
life splash
through that
transparent wall
landing me
in the chill?
