Posthumous words to Vinsuego

Vinsuego
you died today
or maybe yesterday
whenever it was that I realized
you weren't asleep,
sideways,
on the blue imitation pebbles
in your bowl
which desperately needed to be cleaned
but i guess
not as bad as it does now
since, you're still there
(but not)
we never really talked
(honestly)
not even with our eyes
but I'll miss you all the same
I assumed - and I still do -
that you were a male
forgive me if I'm wrong
I wish you the best, bright blue fish
and I do hope that you are where you belong.
