The Pearl

The knife-- sturdy, strong, old yet gleaming
Plunges into each oyster.
Pried open, no ears can hear no screaming.
Frustration rising with the sun,
He cast them one by one
Into the waves of the faceless bay.

Does it matter what he finds?
The filled and empty lay side by side

In the deep, broken and dead.
