infinitesimal tracks of the feed
channel a wreck of ribs fingered
in hope of doubloons
crustacean charnel stroked aside
in a cloud’s question
how about that - an entire seafloor
piped in wires to a bedroom
shadows of skates along the corals
her bruises await the rite
for cleansing away the drowned
yellow bloom and purple fleck
oblation for octopus and shark
the narrator wonders
in larking tones of the crèche
