Whalefall
To sink a behemoth,
Displacing gallons of incomprehensible measurement,
Feeding villages into civilizations on blubber and marrow.
To bequeath a legacy,
Of decade filled descendants and ecosystem genesis,
Generations uncountable of hagfish and plankton
To birth a lineage,
Evolutionary fractals of kinetic biodiversification,
Footprinting beyond fossil record where blue bleeds abyssal
To submerge an ascension,
Where rising demiurge grasps reflection in fraying corpse-fat,
Haloed by bacterial mats and winged in polychaeta.
To conclude a promise,
Life renewed in matching exchange of a single lived,
Archimedean overflow flushing Lethe’s tidal shallows in rebirth
what kind of sellout would I be if I didnt promote the poetry sideblog with a meme?
disclaimer i am not actually in the career path of marine biology i simply think the ocean is neat
