I found your shriveled crispy body
Like a fallen leaf, on the floor
I scooped you up and laid you to rest
In a plastic bag coffin
You were so exuberant in your watery home
A living rainbow, now turned black
It pains me to think about the moment
Of your departure,
If you could feel parts of you being eaten,
Or if you were already gone by that point
Tossed around by gentle fuzzy paws
An end to the daily terror
Of predators watching, watching, attacking
It was only a matter of time.
