Deep beneath the sea
a symphony plays.
Sea horses drum,
Fish grunt,
Small snails sing songs,
Nearsighted manta rays
flying beneath the waves
for eighty years or more are
conducting those
small chorus sounds and alliteration
march to the waves before the sea stars
settle to the bed of stalkers. Later,
The bull sharks come and search
to find the meanings
of the great reef
at the end of the world.
