Exxon Veldez's Lament

Silent skies
With Sparkling Eyes
Focus in on my demise

Protruding ink stain
Years of dark rain
Slick seashores of blackened heart bane

Jilted otters
Murky waters
Sinking crude and whirling blotters

Tested tethers
Flightless feathers
Seething seals with sickened leathers

Aquatic zones
Bereft of tones
Echo back the wailing moans
