Oil-tainted seas reflecting flexing light

Muscles inept, dragged into swirls of red water spouts

Spirit whipped by sea spray, eyes robbed of sight

Pulled underwater, hearing my muted shouts

Taken to the ocean’s favorite pearl

Treasure blocked by sea-floor dwellers

Circling tantric, a hurricanes’ hungry hurl

I slow down, no rush, patience shining stellar

This love hunted to the end of time

Is a sea dragon waiting to pounce

I offer myself, bathe my wounds in lime

When jaws grate these bones, drink the sounds

As long as this blood can feed, I will bleed

Redness uncovered, for he who needs to feed
