Book fragment

A sea fury
with its eight arms
ate a tanker
its belly fur of tar.

Three aircraft carriers
two armoured ships
a whaler
and their crew.

And of a submarine
with powerful rockets
it made a raft
that does not fit your sockets!

It has explosives for breakfast
and shrapnel in its mouth
because it can’t help suffering
from so much polluting the sea…

It came back to its cave
deep and hidden.
Dolphins and children
play with its riddles.
