WHALE
The backbone of a whaleundulates and leads off
on a searching path,
Focused on a glint of light
the journey starts,
the motion, lumbering, muscular
seems infinite - the hunger
of the incomplete never quells
in a bedraggled sea.
Only the rain on the water
tells the creature of another
airy life above...
Eventually, the end of atmosphere
death's barrier, leading beyond hope,
beyond nothingness.
