Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-
pervasively pours from engines and propellers.
Calls and clicks are scrambled by a tone that is
only growing louder.
The sea is a soundscape;
noise travels faster in water. Foggy-eyed twilight creatures
and sightless midnight dwellers are thrown by the monotone that is only growing louder.
Whale song is getting higher, modulating to overlay
the omnipresent purr.
Seismic blasts beach these
lilting mammals, and our drone is only growing louder.
We prolifically pollute with our smog and trash, and light.
That we decimate with decibels is really no surprise, and we’re only growing louder.
