Silver Fish

I saw a small silver fish
Writhing
Flopping
Jumping
On the Durban pier
And I had to save it
No-one else saw it
There were hundreds of people
It was writhing and flopping and jumping
On the pier
Only I heard it
Or saw it
In a crowd of people
In a city of people
I saw a small silver fish
Calling my name
So loudly
In the morning
So she felt the ocean again
Because of you
Because your voice is in my head
Your soft, gentle, beautiful voice is
In my head
