Plunge towards silver gate
Transparent ether cloaks
Cerulean portal mouth
Enswathed in amniotic cell
Ocean! Mother, mind, spirit
Serene pelagial womb
Limbs swell like stalactites
Over glacial ages grown immense
FORGET
Antique fascination, transfixed in shimmering thrall
Wordless cries from ageless depths beckon to us all
Annihilate the body, approach pure consciousness
From inky depths, tendrils unfurl, sentient caress
As within so without
Thence we came, and thence we shall return.
Oceanic embryo dormant within us all
Struggled, gasping into language
Unacknowledged, speaks from the abyss
Eldritch entities glowing, bejewelled
Light the depths of slumbering mind
Megafaunal ancestors
Relics of bygone epochs
Lingering in chambers
Lightless floors of silent seas
Bathynomus giganteus
Architeuthis dux
Macrocheira kaempferi
Anoplogaster cornuta
Twilight
Midnight
Abyssal
Hadal
