Black Box

While talking of verbs,
you become a noun, rigid name.
Exploding like a bromine mix.
A stinking salt.

A fish like whiff. Spirulina.
Entangles you in  
filamentous grip. The 
lady becomes a giant fish.

The fun of throwing a 
curse. You want to change the
nomenclature. Of the sea.
It is now an extinct brine.

You are sinking amids?
shells. Hollow inside. No
thoughts. No movement.
A green vision only, blinking at night.
