The Shore | Elissa Capelle Vaughn
I had a nice stay at the bottom of the ocean
I fell in love with a ghost who was my only light in the darkness
I followed them deeper into the sea
Past the anglerfish, urchins, and eels
We met a Coelacanth on the same journey to the bottom
A giant squid who told us stories about the shipwrecks his ancestors saw before him
Time stood still as minutes felt like months
Just you, me, and the bioluminescence of the sea
A place where no one could find us
That’s what I miss most about the bottom of the ocean
