No! No boom-town no brown current
no smoky vessel no swollen cooked mud
no slop shock no money juggle
no ghost bloom no blunt petrol hull
no smudge rock no possess.
Yes! Keep the lode under.
Hope for old flows to grow
polyp sponge weed
rock mollusc
worm turtle dugong.
Conserve, do not stress.
Love the blue levels
the upwell the fluent spheres under
guyot gull sweep storm hover
sky green fluxes fresh flume.
Defend exoskeletons, broken hydro-forest.
Stop runoff overuse.
Don’t cut holes under clouds.
You new crown-of-thorns, go!
No short-term clever
no smoke-burn genus murder.
Begone!
Keep us hold whole.
Let enfold of
north to south
whole blue current
whole source flush blood
mother cells.
Hope for whole country
not those who would strop
or cull reef.
Keep touch the swell deep course.
