a sudden deluge
sinking human hull
swallowed whole
in maritime despair
slowly digested by
these festering depths
a blackened abyss
singing humanoid
sinking deeper
in maritime despair
slowly ensnared by
these festering depths
slowly entombed
by the ground below
drab - murky - grey
rigorous epidermal apoptosis
muciparous glands emerging
ctenoid scales budding
pulmonary system obsolete

oceanic currents spew forth
an infinite influx of ions
flayed from the remains

yet it ambulates with slow
creaking movement

on its solitary path
to a destination
