whale song sounds the sea
searing softened ears
and we watch from shore
as they arc jumps in this cove
with crashing waves on rocks
it is early sunrise
on this eastern edge
and we are deep inside this life
on the cliff of change
of melting floes and wilding fires
of killing droughts and fatal floods
of species sinking into earth
deeper
and deeper
and they sing their dirges
and we must listen fully
fathoms down
and sing along
