Aphotic

Aphotic: (adjective) - a condition of being without light, particularly in the context of the ocean or other bodies of water. It specifically describes the region where sunlight doesn't penetrate, typically below a certain depth.

*

Between the light and what we want to see,

there is me,

heading down

past it all.

*

When I focus and sound it out here,

I fear

and sense that it is

just me.

*

Darkness here, perpetual

(no chance left).

Could a source of my thoughts

clear that space?

*

It is a void

we want to avoid.

But maybe we should

swim and see

what we can be.
