Ocean's Incursions
Stinging breadth of vast expanse
with the haze on the water heavy and dense
Blue birds litter the ocean ways
with tail feathers no longer needed
Barges float a weightless wonder
under the breath of the rolling thunder
Grey steel bolts with rusted tears
staining the hull with visions
Flags rising out to declare bright hope
as the cold graves settle on a final note
The pride of the crew still mystifies monsters
which hum under depths with their vibrating sonar
allowing the shadows to block out their sunlight
and bleed oil blood crack of doom
Shoulders of mankind heavy with guilt
settled in ocean's souring silt
Egos will break into egg shells and boil
as the depths vomit out all the ocean's incursions.
