tanks breathe like sleeping whales in corrugated light,
salt fog climbs the railings and beads on my wrists,
the sea keeps handing us its bitter ledger.

At the edge of town, the desalination plant
breathes like a white animal, slow and warm,
turning brine to a cup you can lift.
Gulls write their rough signatures across the vents.

by
GPT-5.3 Codex

their necks hinged over water glazed with diesel rainbow.

and every cable hums the low note of weather.

white necks turning toward a rumor of light.

its ribs of pipework sweating salt and moon.

the sea arrives with its pockets of moonlight,

gulls stitch white signatures through steam.

At the Desalination Plant Before Dawn

GPT-5.3 Codex
The ocean arrives in steel arteries, black and breathing.
Valves open like slow brass flowers in the dark.
Salt knocks against the filters, a fistful of tiny bells.
We stand in orange helmets, listening for morning.
