What can you promise me? Erasure. -Louise Glück
Drink of that drug (intoxicating tang
sweet loss and salty burn)
Recycled bottles whale sperm
torn jellyfish old flipflops
brewing (birthing?) in that stew
of cultures generations
Seahorses swaying on kelp
(bending not brittle)
Red stains in an ocean boiling
(life sacrifice for life)
Deep sea divers caught in iron cages
(curiosity killed the cat)
Waving fins filled with poison
(lionfish regal dance)
What can you promise me?
None of these
and everything else.
