A Web

A Web

Atop the granite peeking through

Puget Sound waters

Bald eagle searches the waters

above the seals sunning on water’s edge,

And below the shining ripples

even here the coral grows— 

the beginning of the web of earth’s

protein for living beings 

until warming waters of increased carbon

acidify their home, their lives,

the living within them and that which they feed

and on and on to the seals and eagles and us.

Note: the oceans absorb 30% of carbon dioxide, endangering the entire food web.
