Wreck Bay

 
blue soldiers await valor as the glassy bay recedes
thousands of creatures hatch from the exposed sand bed
simultaneously emerge, micro robotic juggernauts
creep like metallic pearls

plowing the sand flats, racing the tide
trickling sun showers swirl in swarms
dividing and uniting in cross currents of blue haze

drawn to the scavenger hunt, unstoppable force of gravity
anxious mouths grind on sandy flesh from the wreck
murmurs resonate in bloody froth
the blue army feed from bones of a jigsaw corpse



This poem was written for the endless DARKSCAPE comp.
