Osama Bin Laden Is Buried At Sea

Infidel fish arrive,
shoals of blank-eyed eaters swim in circles,
each time the head turns toward Mecca
they nudge it in another direction.

Sea-bugs emerge,
dyspeptic crustaceans as small as fleas,
fastidious eaters
that consume only hate.

Above the waves a ship sails away,
having buried again
the evidence of hells D.N.A.
