straight into the ocean,
a streak of silver diving deep
its flight path brightens the ocean depths,
other creatures flee its unearthly light in undulating waves.
undeterred, it heads downward still
till it lights up the ocean floor.
black rocks glitter at the base of an underwater volcano
As the fish nears the lips, the under sea mountain heaves then bubbles,
seething and spewing hot ash into the cold sea. The fish rides high at the top of the thick ash mushrooming from beneath
it rises and rises, a manic glint in its eye, in a tidal wave that unfurls on shore
the fish at the head, its maw wide open
it swallows trees then buildings, rears its head and then spits them back far inland
the sea retreats, having dumped its unholy guest. now it lies like a beached whale, belly turned, stinking to the sky, Those who are left, approach it with bile rising, asking only... why..
the ocean floor, littered with black stones that glitter
an arc of light inthe pitch darkness
an underwater volcano bubbles, seething and spewing hot ash into the cold sea
