Plastic
moon river thins out
crawling on muddy waters
…like black honey thick with phlegm
grandeur of tides breaks
her frail song choking for breath…
sea creatures huff for clear wafts
life is shortened now
bearing trash of man’s neglect…
to nurture pure ocean beds
crests wither with age
a garbage of waves fleeting
… swallowed by lethal plastic
