Seascape of slaughter

Wrecked boat on the shore

The ink on the note she wrote
Leaches and bleeds,
Into the sea.

The water that carried her message of hope.
On a sea that is deaf to her tears
That stream downstream
Back to the sea.

The cold, black, barren sea,
Lifeless water,
Grave of her daughter,
Seascape of slaughter.
