Driftwood predators

When I first discovered photography, 

I was living on a small island, 

And I became obsessed 

 With taking driftwood pictures: 

Their curious formations 

Looked like metaphors to me. 

I rarely encounter driftwood these days,

 But this one called to me, 

And spoke of predators, 

Feeding on the entrails of their prey; 

Unpleasantly reminiscent 

 Of the current state of my country…
