Beyond swirling gyre
Refuse clots the ocean
Where strong circular currents give way to placid blue
Refrigerator doors, shopping bags, discarded beach balls
Bob endlessly in miles and miles of water
Billions of plastic bottles of h20
Floating in endless sea
Plastic sand, like dunes of pastel confetti,
Outlives us all
Ghost fishing nets
Floated away from sure hands,
Catching and killing all in their wake, always
Albatross chicks found dead
Pile of dun gray feathers
Hungry bellies filled with brightly colored bottle caps
