I’ll
Drown the
Icy seas
In fire and slag
Evaporate the
Sweltering land, vapor
Clouds infuse the atmosphere
Poisonous dread infects all near
As they flee in fear to higher ground
Sailors lashed to their splintering masts
Let the surf shake the anchor loose
Ropes unsung slip into my
Aquatic realm, currents
Sweep all fears away
Deafening roar
Nebulous
Tides sweep
Stiffs
Back
To shore
Dash yourself
On my rocks and
Be desolated
No more. Everything you've
Hoped or dreamed floats within reach
Tangled in seaweed tentacles
Enraptured, sink to the sandy depths
Don't fear the ever-black murkiness
Remain calm when you percieve my
Short echolocating shrieks
Pump your arms and fins with
Every joule fueling
Muscles filled with
Frozen dread
Shifting
Temps
And
Water
Density
Still you're blinded
Gone unseen. Hitting
A bump in the gulf stream
Snagged by my immortal, red
Seer's thread, flounder in the deepest
Shoals, penetrate my Nereid sphere
