Killing whale
caught under the waves
of the glorious purple
night
thump thump
rippling all over and around
into
herself.
her
song of orcas
herds soft
scrapes savage—
skin scaled, eyes wide
black & white
playing in the darkened abyss
beat beat
thump
even darkness has
a heart.
Even darkness has
lips.
