Creeping Death
It starts out so small
A single dark spot
Ending the summer trek
Sand sticky and black
Like an artery cut open
It continues to pulse
Sludge sliding across the water
Toxins pump through the ocean
The hemmorage cannot be stopped
Using Nature against herself
Coating the fowl while drowning the fish
Snuffing the life from the sea
