Sea of empty space..?

Tonight I saw an ocean
Passing beneath the moon
In zig zag slow motion
Then a whale was strewn..?

Coup de grâce
Sea of empty space..?

The moon was gone!
Like a white chess pawn.

Like bread a carp swallows
And then it just wallows
Dimly into the night
Into those disk waves so trite.

Coup de grâce
Sea of empty space..?
