Tern Lost

Under the pewter surface, the sea is a rich mystery
for sure we don't know the nutrient sum of the great sunder.

sword fish, ray and marlin
slicing through the sun
is the gannet's beak cutting
loose the tale of blue fin

krill pumps, wheezing
before moonlit baleen
lifeless, white coral reefs are
the starving grimace of Oceania

Yargh! Counting down to bounty's end
from infinity and centuries
to decades and days

Coconut crabs make fine entrées
for whale and wasabi mayonnaise.
The sparkling jewels of the sea's glare
will soon be the only fare
for the deeps have been scoured
free of life and crystal clear.

Nothing will escape our nets. Nothing can escape our mighty gaff.

Flayed white bodies still signify life;
our epicurean bellies must be satisfied.
The port tolls billion-tonne bells
as we harvest the sea floor to gorge ourselves.

The Caspian is greener than ever before;
it's currents have swung to the north,
the pressure rises with the water;
our boats moor high above the jetty boards.

The villagers sing of fish no more,
no more
