eulogy.
My dear Kit Fishto, you were a lovely fish. You didn’t once complain when it took me weeks to name you. You tolerated me calling you Kitty. You didn’t mock me when I went running up to you and pressed my head up to the glass and yelled “LOOK AT MY FACE!” on the day that I came home wearing my new glasses. You loved swimming in time to music and Tom Petty was your favourite. You saw me naked more than you probably cared to, but I had to feed you freeze-dried bloodworms so I guess that makes us even. You watched me dance around my apartment and listened to me babble about how happy I was when I met someone. You watched me while I was curled up on the couch after I had my heart broken. You watched me attempt pilates, rearrange my furniture and fight with pigeons. I hope you were entertained by my antics. I was always entertained by yours.
Love,
Violet
