Sevengill (Notorynchus Cepedianus) |
Down here I wait with all my benthic friends |
Underneath the gate listening to lives end |
Those with seven gills will investigate each thunderous crash and corresponding |
shape |
In great detail, I described you to them |
In case the bridge is how you choose to end |
I’d like to have some last words with you before you end up on the Farallone’s |
rocky shores |
Where the real beasts await to have their way |
With all the failures washed out from the bay |
A hundred years have past since just last autumn |
Please come to the bay, see who now lives on the bottom |
I’d like to have some last words before I forget how to walk upon these muddy |
shores and cease entirely to breathe like a man |
Seeing things only with the tips of my hands |
My heart is crushed by the jaws of regret |
Upon knowing where you now make your bed |
The depths at which I’ve chained to you |
I pray those shackles eventually rust through |
Held under by chiton like lies |
Amongst the corpses |
I’ll never surface |
Debris bouncing off my hide |
Covered in detritus I’ve lost purpose |
What comfort lies in years of hating me? |
Haven’t you in some way found a rare peace? |
Please realize your very soul’s at stake you’re still a man and I was just a |
tool of fate |
Your bite marks riddled my soul |
It got damn cold with all those holes |
So I left it on shore for all the gulls |
Take it |
There wasn’t much left |
Take it |
But it’s all yours |
Take it |
