I hide within myself. I am my own
Mariana Trench; nautical sphinx; a junkyard Atlantis of coral bones. This heart, this argonaut papered in a glass-sharp origami. This eyelid shivering like the silk of benthos. This spine folded into the arch of a seahorse. Volcanoes rustling in the viscera. Ocean-pith arsenic. I don’t trust your perfect sanctuaries filled with things that gleam in feathers; those bellringers fitted with bird-hymns. Instead, I gem this darkness, depths of tourmaline. Live & splendor among those that teach the blindness of speech to skin.
