Cetaceous Siren


The modern Melvillian call entraps
then enchants
a promenade congregation,
as hungry eyes turn seaward

Startling white flute glistens
languidly greets, salutes...
monstrous, visceral power slaps
An azure fog mists the Lilliputians
sighs melt souls...peace

Undersea boil of power
pulsing aqua pout
Billow spray and champagne fizz
split chromed plates of ocean steel

Heaving breaches dazzle
freeze frame linger
North to nurture
nestle nature

Satin corduroy
fades to glass
barely
a huffing puff farewell

(David)
