Millions of species to be unimmersed :
Catalogues at the bottom of the sea seen,
And just above, mesophotic—a twilight zone,
So to speak : lairs of fish in the layers,
Crush of pressure less toward the shimmer
Of the daystar that hangs above the swimmers .
Catalogues at the bottom of the sea seen,
And just above, mesophotic—a twilight zone,
So to speak : lairs of fish in the layers,
Crush of pressure less toward the shimmer
Of the daystar that hangs above the swimmers .
Satellites swing secret in circular sway ;
The ocean is as alien as distant moons .
