Cytotoxicity

Swallow me as the sea,
brine and algae,
gracile and mean,
clean-
carbonated-
serene-
sedimentary, my dear.
A filter-fed dread
bed slow
under to and fro,
reeling in a deadline cast
fast-
a bait ‘n switch sitch,
wounds with all salt no stitch-
planktonic,
rich.
Foundational to this web of sighs,
a detritus inside us
that just
can’t
realize
that a hook might be catchy,
but these jaws are
tongue tied,
Anchored to a guilt
built
over Wednesdays
and
dried
eyes.
