Sonar blasting, pulverizing,

beating through skin to

organs, blunt force

trauma

to our cousins the

Dolphins and Whales and

perhaps something a

little closer.

From where?

Why?

Technological hunting of

primordial sea hunters?

An underwater Bigfoot?

Orcas evolving from wolves?

Bears evolving into Orcas?

Apes evolving into Mermaids?

A Freudian yearning for

the womb’s salt or

erupting volcanoes forcing

ancestors into the sea

forming webbed

fingers and toes

over thousands and thousands

and thousands of years

like Labrador Retrievers

in a much shorter time?

Fish die, spears float and

body bags are carried

away quickly,

surreptitiously,

to places unknown to

those standing by

or watching while filming.

Underwater screams of dying

Dolphins and Whales

followed by complex

shrieks of other creatures.

Hundreds of beached

whales no longer cry

for help; they just rot

in the sand.

They aren’t

talking.
