Someone tell the pearl diver—
that the sea is dead.
That the sea robins and dogfish swam away
days ago.
That the coral once
tangerine,
lilac,
and
blush
has bleached.
Whiter than a wedding dress.
Whiter than a pale, stone-cold stillborn
gripped so tightly
like a small,
precious
pearl.
that the sea is dead.
