Killer Whale

A boat-full of ancient sailors for lunch
Eating machine of teeth, and earthly rancor
Knowledge and wrath
Tang of sinew, and choking mucus
Vertigo, slippery sleek chases
Toil and spiral

Endless protons in gallons of salty brine
Messenger of heaven across airless waves
Soul mate to the blackened Exxon seas
With haunting natural scrape
Invested in bloody iron and protein
God, oh please God, don’t let me be
