Gulf of Mexico
Poem
Sep 17, 2022
Oil spill in the sea
a man’s or a machine’s
mistake.
A black carpet of death.
A black spectre’s haunting
and the hunting began.
The writer went back
unable to find a muse
in a black dream.
Tunas poisoned
by the 007 trickery
of killer-sapiens.
Sensing the fossil sickness
with their magnetism
birds skipped
toxic pregnancies and births.
Benzene
Toluene
Sulphur
in the kid’s lunchbox.
(Perhaps a ‘crude’ love)
Oyster
making a
Xylene pearl?
<><><><><><>
and the devilish rainbows
starting the nemesis.
and the Romeo and Juliet
never met in the black fumes.
