Burayak

There she floundered at the coast

her fins waved at absolution

Sunk underneath toom tummy

her eyes were red in tooth and claw

I saw a dying one

collapsed in the throes of agony

hastily yanked on the bathed sand

lucent line like that of pristine water

I heard a moaning one

crying aloud to the shore

her tone told me there was no more story

slammed into roaring tides

I witnessed a succumbing one

Her wail died on the vine
