escorting its life mate across millennial seascapes.
A bobbing coquettishness
Swimming awkwardly in Algarvian currents.
Horse-tails like baby-hands reach out for Neptune’s parental comforts,
wrapping around gentle swaying seagrasses.
A delicate dance and exchange of your 400 young;
A delicate dance and exchange of your 400 young;
Your once-in-a-life-time long-snouted mate, with ultimate fatherly caresses.
The collection of all the Silvery tears
can’t compensate for Anthropocene encroachments:
An ocean of plasticity, rapacious ripping fishing nets.
A screen-based sea of humanity’s unkindness.
Snouts snuffling, a scorched earth tribe,
A noisy distracted indifference:
Your impending homelessness
Your offsprings’ melancholic fears.
New Gods empty out the seas
Ladling in their toxicity and carelessness:
A seagrass meadow depletion
Your cherished young rendered fatherless.
