Parts per billion
words worth wisdom shatter as icicles on asphalt
dripping tar-balls and chemicals
nano-plastic content
spilt oil for
baleen filters
a whale steers through sound cones
keeping islands between it and
dendrites in confusion
discovered by fish finders
Plinking with sonar guidance
crashing into the leader
a hull gouges grooves across darkness
resurfaces survival values
in Thanatos’ caustic pollutants-
insults to epidermis
alienated and homeless
starving with the salmon faded
taken by mid-ocean drift nets
memories netted
death in cold water
The color of the water
a vast city’s sewer soup
affluence to oceans
drugs flushed to cetacea
received the swimmers
a rainbow of arterial additives
with motors distracting echoes
ripples in gray matter.
