white whale (Free verse) by ThePariahDog
what's an ahab to do?
hot to trot on the beach
salt crusting my mouth
baked and begging to take a stab at whale tail
harpoon in hand, i make a splash
diving down to the floor
an ocean undulating, feet flailing wildly
i breach the surface then gasp for air
unable to fight for long, the calf relents
writhing in a pool of her own fluids
she shudders, closing her eyes
sated by the bloodless death
