nautilus and anemone
drift through silurian darkness
bubbly chit-chat in aqua flux
seaweed undulates, suggestively
as dorsals, restless and hungry
parcel both surf and turf
in vertical and horizontal planes
life is only an excuse for dinner
a means to an end for all concerned
the deeper you go, the stranger it gets
geo-thermal vents with blind tube-worms
feasting spasmodically
on the curious and ill-placed,
fluorescent ichthys, isolated
like basques in the pyrenees
have found their niche
beneath a sun that remains a myth,
a god beyond black, beyond
green, inaccessible and remote
water world

Re: water world
thanks arcadia. always neat to hear from you!
Re: water world
just a pleasure to read dino.....works on many levels for me......literally as a Jacques Cousteau voyage, the images stick out for their unique beauty, and the language follows suit....,and as metaphor, for me, it works to paint a picture of world that will always have dark secrets, things that can't be known, I was particularly fond of :
isolated
like basques in the pyrenees
beneath a sun that remains a myth
just great......but it was all pretty savory.....good stuff....

Re: water world
thanks steve. it's been tough to write lately. i think school puts me on the wrong side of my brain.
Re: water world
Dino, there is no wrong side to your brain.
Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.
