Whale Fall
You told me about the whales
How the sinking act of death
from such a massive thing was
actually an instance of creation
How there was in essence
a new world drawn to
the promise of food and shelter,
however fleeting
Until eventually even bones
were broken down
And I wanted to be the whale
For however long it takes to drift
to sleep with you beside me
Waiting to watch the afterlife
unfold in my own rib cage
