Abattoir beside the estuary
River walking over the tide beneath
trembling water, many meters deep,
flowing blood down to sea
Blood, bone, and entrail
into water’s seaward trail
shadows of man-eaters
teeth coupled, chainsaws
Grinding in rancid blood
slipping over discolored algae
under the outpipe’s thin black mud
across submerged rock
Scavengers brace and dash
grey fins approach with stealth and warrant
spending energy assaulting the current
thrashing aggression
They reach the riverside abattoir
shadowed building, obscure — noir
extending sharply into water
food is free, competition scatters
