Marianas Trench
as all suns begin to evaporate
through the canals of salt
and tremble under the weight of water
and touch the untouched ground
the zealous trench is draped
with coral stags and seaweed-snakes
and teethed with pores of fire
which cleaves all light
as a strange fish, ill wander forever
the opaque, in search of nothing
in the hearth of origin, of dreams
in realms of jostling rainbows
ill plant my velvet flag
and sleep, in winding sheets
