5 Stages – Part 4 – Whale Fall
Bleached like whale bones,
Fallen beneath the waves
Embedded in the muck down deep,
I cannot breathe.
Bleached like whale bones,
Still and silent,
Picked clean by scavengers,
Too dark to see.
Bleached like whale bones,
My heart holds no more meaning.
You lie as quiet as the seafloor,
And my life holds no more value.
In this graveyard of giants,
I am drowning,
And I will not come back up.
Bleached like whale bones,
I give up and wait to rot beside you.
