notta whalecoo - for Just Mercedes
 
Farewell Spit
what enchantment
do you cast
calling whales
to die?

Sad, isn't it?

Beached whale




she left the
bathyspheric depths of home
driven slowly onwards, growing lighter
until needles of light
splintered in the skin
that shimmered above

she surfaced
near the stream mouth

and fired herself
like surf breaking on rocks

into the emptiness

I wish I could write as good as I can read
.
very powerful,both.
