In the Mariana trench 
Surrounded by holothurians 
Jellyfish and white octopuses 
We plumb the Challenger deep 
In search of Megalodon.

The height of Mount Everest but a meter
The depth of Mariana Trench just a foot
The distance between the North and South Poles only an inch
The waters of the oceans merely a thimble 
Neither could measure
Nor could quench
This love I have inside
A fire I must hide...

Mariana          
              Mariana of mine,
              for your flu
              I offer you
              solidarity
              address
              my esteem...
              My love
              my respect...
              Ah! Vitamin C
              and lovely bed...!...

The Challenger Deep.
The deepest point in the ocean.
What bizarre creatures live in the murk
Of this part of the Mariana Trench.

Creatures that never sleep
In the sea's endless motion.
In ancient hollows they lurk
Deep in the Mariana Trench.

Darkness - cast in deepest water chasm mad 
And in blackest net clutch 
Lingering bubbles of photon flutter  
errant blunderings of light escape
jellyfish scarlet sight negate
dead ship dancing flick and shiver
laughing, tendrils lash and quiver    
from Mariana Trench deliver
messages to the sun ~

BEATRIX aka Liz
the daydream became reality
his living hell for all to see
MARIANA
weary,dreary her gaze
symbol of Autumn days
her lonesome Fall-
awaits his call
BEREAVED MOTHER
news,bad and sad
brings no fear
to one who holds God near
MILLAIS GIRL WITH JUG
spring blossom weather
all girls together
a picnic by Millais
an early May day

million miles across the room
you sing your insect chants
your contours blurred
like ocean cathedrals
and our love is like a missile
and muskets

cheers to the dark and the endless

'cause someday we'll live, I promise
far away from this mass dementia, 
macabre spectacle, 
manufactured beasts
and fabricated lies
at the bottom of the seafloor
in our own shell house
in Mariana Trench

but for the moment
no one's driving this burning car
out of consciousness...
