skeletons on skeletons
tentacled polyps
turning to calcium carbonate
sometimes flowers
swollen brains supernovas cups
fans pillars lettuce
whips claws mushrooms hands
sharks mouthfuls of fish
teeth full of water
orange and white fish among tentacles
barracudas like knives opening jaws
flat yellow fish butterflies
impaled on barracuda fangs
stings of jellyfish
a crown-of-thorns starfish
two fourteen a hundred starfish
stomachs outside their mouths
outside their bodies
on the coral white scars
all of this under my skin
your mouth on my skin
your mouth that doesnt see my reef
I am endangered
