Jeff Connelly Poet I do not know?

Twenty Thousand Leagues

i dove
to the depths
of her
ocean where
phosphorescent
fish have become
grotesque

there is no
sun in this
dark water
womb
giving
birth to
what on earth

there are two
two lip fish one
horizontal the
other vertical
this is
the worst
to come upon

its very 
nature
is to
seduce
even
worse
then the

Medusa Jellyfish
as it opens its lips
with something
thumping dangling
from above worm
like and glowing
so that the unknowing

sees and wants to
taste pleasure but
never to receive for
the worm hardens
bringing you in not
noticing the plump
lips closing slowly

as if a 
Venus
Flytrap 
caught
in its
snatch
no time

to come
