Scattered from ocean floor to gutter
It floats its sludge inside our lives,
Immersing within the food and air,
Strangling, twisting, buckling wombs.
Unconscionable and complicit are we
Staring in disbelief of the quaking earth.
Stumbling through a watery backset,
Turning toward from an ebbing night
Of deny, deny, deny… speckled doom.
