water world

This is Constantine's artlog. He posted his poems in his own artlog forum for several years. He named the forum "Constantinople" and described it as "A byzantine journey through life's labyrinth."

water world

Post by constantine » May 26th, 2011, 3:44 pm

nautilus and anemone
drift through silurian darkness
bubbly chit-chat in aqua flux
seaweed undulates, suggestively
as dorsals, restless and hungry
parcel out both surf and turf
in vertical and horizontal planes
life is only an excuse for dinner
a means to an end for all concerned
the deeper you go, the stranger it gets
geo-thermal vents with blind tube-worms
feasting spasmodically
on the curious and ill-placed,
fluorescent ichthys, isolated
like basques in the pyrenees
all have found their place
beneath a sun that remains a myth,
a god beyond black, beyond
green, inaccessible and remote
