A Quiet Walk On the Ocean Floor

today I walked across the ocean floor
the flora and the fauna were flat;

multi-limbed fish and flat eyeless worms, 
nudged me, like a dreaming lover in the night 

heaven’s light?...no..it was just too far down!
bathyscape deep: Witgenstein deep…really, 
really, excrucitingly deep.
