Trident submarine
cranking in the murk
like an underwater AI

A strange fish
glass mechanical eyeballs

Lights snorkel in the abyss
Is it a whale or a UFO?

Conjured from reason
Oppenheimer’s delight

In the dark, the nuclear reactor

Here we are
in the depths
of everything we refuse to know

Truth so close we don’t see it

Beeps of the radar

The first to detect war
and the last to engage with it

Dark crucible
angry creativity
huding from Russians

The final shrieks of the bomb-taut fellows
fatherless depths
“ma mere! ma mere!”

An imposter
full fathom five

In Aqueous caverns
of formless silence

A new life form on Earth
alien, undetectable

Bi-directional dynamics
with the sea

Uncanny dialogue
