Burn After Reading

 

Your depths wait like


a sombre boy's rockpool.


Focus of a cornflower-blue dome,


catching echoes of those


animalicules designed to hide.


Yes, your depths wait.


Fevers you feel will subside


with the blinding sapphire blue- 


loved ones consider lightly;


the kraken thinks best to hide.
