THE GOLDFISH'S LAMENT

"Ah! Too subtle,
Subtle," the griffon shrieked;
The gold blue of his wings
Knifing through the cerulean dark.

"Dark? Dark?" I replied,
"Who needs the dark? Indeed
Sirrah, you jest with me."

Never before or after;
Again unseen with eyes:
Crying; throat moaning;
And energetic head shaking.
