Doom’d humpback,
Mighty Moon
Lone traveller
British Columbia to Maui,
Pure grit!
Stuff brimming,
Wretch’d hurrying vessel
Smash’d her spine,
Five thousand
Agonising kilometres,
Three months
All strength!
Twist’d body,
Powerful pec fins
Breaststroked Pacific,
Emaciat’d
Whale liced
Broken,
Unrelenting will!
Sorrowful
Whale guardians,
Honour
Reverence,
Adored Moon.
Dearly missed.
More things?
Nay!
Adopt minimalism
Rebuff shopaholism,
Love Mother Earth,
Defend Oceans
Right this second!
Agitate. Disrupt. Defend.
