response to web photo of whales on beach

beached and bleeding out their spouts
stomachs full of plastic -- our waste
our inconvenience

I want to get rid of it
get rid of this image,
but I find I cannot

only embracing the blood
and the suffering
-- enormous creatures
slowly losing breath, ingesting
cut glass of terror --
can relieve the suffering

because it was this
"get-rid-of" mind
that murdered them
in the first place
